For all you shooters of 115 gr loads- Does anyone else find that their Luger's point-of-impact is lower than the point-of-aim? I too use the WWB 115 gr bullets, in both FMJ and HP. I've been curious about trying a 124 gr load, to raise the POI, and have been looking into the various manufacturers' published velocities. I read that the original 9mm Luger load was a 124 gr bullet at around 1070 fps. The POI with my Luger is lower than the POA, and don't want to change the front sight.
It shoots consistently, however, enough to shoot 4 shots into a cloverleaf shape at 8 yards, all overlapping.
Thanks.
