I know most of you already know about this, but it is only in the last 10 years I started testing different ammo and brands on paper, before that I was more a casual shooter.
Amazing to me how ammo from the same brand but different grain , or same grain but different brand not only effects size of groupings, but actual impact area also.
Case in point Saturday I tested Fiocchi .32 auto ammo in my CZ 50, all other brands shot groups 1 to 2 o'clock of bulls, Fiocchi shoots dead center bulls. Same with Fiocchi .40 s&w shoots higher and closer to bulls in my Glock 23 while all other brands shoot low and right of bulls.
I know you reloaders take it to another level but now I realize why I might have missed that soda can shooting casual in the woods back when I was more of a plinker lol might not have been me or the gun but the ammo.
