Ammo comparison

I shot an idpa classifier today and had these horrible bad hits on those 20-25 yard targets. I know that most of the time it is the shooter doing most of the missing but this was especially bad shooting that happened so afterward driving back home i bought a box of factory Lawman 124g 9mm to shoot out of my XDm9 at the local range and compare it to the load that i used for the match which was:

Rainier plated 124g RN
1.135 OAL
4.4g TiteGroup

XDm9 /10 shots/ factory ammo/ 15 yards

XDm9 /10 shots/ handloads/ 15 yards

Then my dad was there too and brought his XD9 Tac. I did the same thing with his gun.

What do you make of that...? Do you think the barrel on the XDm9 is getting worn out? It only has around 25,000 rounds through it though it is not shooting those Rainier bullets nearly as well as the XD9 Tac that has maybe 500 rounds through it.

thanks for any input
