Tula 9mm 115gr and Federal 147gr HP 16" barrel velocity

[DadSmith]

I got my Ruger 9mm carbine out today put my new Swampfox Liberator sight on and shot it in with the above two brands and bullet weights. Tula was to get it shot in on paper, and the Federal 147gr HP is what I use in it for home defense. Surprisingly both shot identical at 25 yards windage and elevation wise. The Federal 147gr HP definitely had better groups less than 1" at 25 yards where the Tula was around 1.5" groups at 25 yards.

I shot a few rounds through my Ruger PC carbine last weekend too. I was shooting Hornady 115 XTP reloads. I would like to chronograph some of the loads. Shot pretty accurately . I had been shooting 124XTPS and 125 Zeros but will try some more 115s.
