Accuracy in shooting

I don't believe it is my imagination but I seem to be extremely accurate with my glock 19 when I use Winchester luger 9mm.
When I try other brands in order to save money, I am just not as accurate. Also with the other brands the gun jams. CCI was a problem. Remingtons UMC jammed once. I get no jams and greater accuracy with the Winchester luger.
Is this a common experience? Thank you for any feedback.
 
Lonegunman is correct. Even two guns that are the same make/model may shoot better with different ammo.

That's why it's a common recommendation (for any gun) to buy a couple of boxes of several different brands/types of ammo. Shoot them under similar circumstances (distance, lighting, etc.) and see which one works best for you.
 
What Lou said. :D

My habit over the last handful of years (since I got back into shooting) has been to buy one box of almost every different flavor of ammo for the firearm I just bought and to then go shoot them all on the same day at the same range(s). One or two usually stand out, and I stick with them.

But Son is also right, and I need to get off my duff and get that Dillon 550B!
 
I'm with Son on this one. If you shop around you can still find components cheap enough to save money, even with all the cheap, and inaccurate, practice ammo that can be had.
 
My Glock 19 seems to like W-W Silvertips very well. My local dealer thinks that it is the way the jacket of the bullet interacts with the rifling in the Glock barrel. Whatever it is, they work so they became my carry load.

My practise load is the UMC 115 gr FMJ and it seems to hit in the same spot. I am fortunate to have found both a practise and a carry load which seem to duplicate each other's flight patterns.

Unless I find a LOT of time on my hands, I am going to do the same as JohnWill and just buy ammo on sale. The local Dick's seems to have sales on UMC everytime I need some more.
 
ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS DIFFERENT

Recommend (for plinking/target/competition) starting at the bottom of the price ladder and working upward in cost until you reach YOUR desired performance requirements.
Why pay more?
