For years of using high velocity ammo, because it is cheaper than the target stuff, I made an attempt to find out why my shooting results landed not so good results! The high velocity I had shot were Winchester dynapoint, CCI, Federal Champions, CCI stingers, Winchester Wildcats, and a host of others. So after basically thinking it was the gun, a guy asks me if I ever shot the target stuff? I said no because of price. He then tells me that you will notice a big difference in the groups you get with it. Meaning greater accuracy. I took his word. Went to go purchase the target ammo and said to myself.... Holy Smokes $9.25 for a box of 50!! Don't call me a cheapskate but... will I notice a difference with the target ammo? If so, then I will indeed buy a box just to see if it does make a difference. By the way, the Federal Champions held the best group of all. My question is, does the target ammo improve the groups more so than the high velocity ammo?
