I too have a Pro series and a 40c and recently switched from 165 to 180 gr....after I finished the 50rds I have left, i'll be switching back!...I have found that I have a few spiratic hits with the 180..with the 165 I keep a consistent 2-4 in group. With the 180 I can keep a decent 3-5 in group but I always get 2-3 that pull off from the group in a 15 rd group.
