Lots of 9mm CCI on sale in my area. Coincidence?
I think not....

This is bad news. The older load shot well in pretty much everything.

So is the new AE using a plated bullet in place of the jacketed bullet?
AD9FP has been my go-to for practice rounds to match with my HST 147 carry ammo for years. I've still got cases to go (presumably the old design) but will start trying Lawman 147.
And I thought it was just my shooting going downhill!
Shot this yesterday:
Attachment 44767
The flyer is on me. 4 rounds in .5", all 5 in 1.75". The new load out of the same gun did 2.25"
I have a box of "AE9FP 147 9mm 147 grain full metal jacket flat point" sitting in front of me. How do I tell if it is "new" vs. "old"?
I bought it specifically to investigate stories I'd heard about AE 115 being a bit sporadic, group wise, with 147 being much better in terms of average group size. But I can't put my finger on where I saw that.
The older 147 gr is in a smaller box than the newer stuff. I don't have any of the new stuff for comparison, but I just measured a box of the old ammo and it came out to 5.1 inches long.
Thanks. This is what I have, just arrived last week from Targetsportsusa.com:

Dumb question: Has anyone had the opportunity to measure the diameter of the bullet meplats of both the older and newer iterations of this round as a way of differentiating between the two versions?
