I went to the range today to test a few different types of ammo against my regular load that I use for practice and target shooting and competitive shooting. I wanted to see if what I am currently using stacks up well against some premium factory ammo.
I was shooting both revolvers and pistols, and I noticed something very interesting. I found that my regular load in my revolvers was doing a great job and was actually more accurate than any of the premium ammo that I purchased and tried out. However in my pistols I noticed that their accuracy was widely different from ammo type to ammo type and I was not getting great performance out of my current load. The big surprise however was that some of my pistols wouldn't shoot worth beans on some premium ammo. Also no ammo was consistently good in any of the pistols. In other words one brand or load was fantastic in one pistol and not good in another and another brand would shoot very well in one, not good another. No brand shot well in all pistols across tne board. This was not true with the revolvers. If the brand shot well in one revolver it shot well out of all of my revolvers.
Wondering if anyone else has seen this type of difference.
I was shooting 38 special and 9mm.
I have not mentioned the actual brands of ammo or guns because that's not the point of the post.
