My experience with shooting HV ammo in a pistol agrees with the recommendation of your "gun bloke", standard velocity ammo is the most accurate, HV ammo tends to scatter a bit, and hyer-velocity ammo is all over the place. Example: I shoot a Ruger Government Target Model with a 7-1/2" heavy barrel. CCI Green Tag ammo goes into about 1-1/2"-2" at 25 yds, CCI Mini-Mags go into about 3-1/2"-4" at 25 yds, and CCI Stingers are all over the place with no rhyme or reason, about 7"-8". While I am sure the HV and hyper-velocity ammo is faster even out of a pistol, the poor accuracy pretty much defeats the purpose of shooting it for any reason.
