Default problem with scope/gun/me? Need advice...

Yes, I'm still a noob. Here is my problem. I trashed my original target so i drew one similiar to it. I own 2 Savage 93R17's. One BTVS and one in standard barrel. Both with accutrigger. Sighted both using hornady VMAX. Super accurate.

I figured shooting the CCI 20grain FMJ will just change the point of impact slightly lower since the buller is heavier. Instead it hit upper right. Shot it with both guns and about the same result. Loaded some VMAX and bullseye. BOTH sighted at 25yds. everytime. WTF? I used Hornady's trajectory calculator and i expected to see around the same results, but i was surprised...I'm gonna try to sight @ 25yd using the FMJ and then load both guns with the VMAX rounds and see what happens..



Scopes: Bushnell trophy 3-9-40, Tasco 4-14-40 1.5" from center of scope to top of barrel.
