    Your best bet is to go shoot them from a rest where you know the gun is set solid.
    That will give you the actual difference. Shoot both weight bullets at different targets so you can tell them apart.

    147 grain WWB versus FGMM at 400? -30.7/14.4 and -33.9/13.8 respectively, with a 10MPH full value wind using published velocity.

    Change is the bane of BDC turrets.
