is it the ammo or the shooter?

NEWBIE QUESTION:

i regularly practice with winchester white box 9mm 115gr rounds (yea -- the 100 round box is the ONLY thing i buy from wal-mart). most days, i can shoot these very consistently at the range.

i've been trying to shoot my self defense rounds to get a feel for them and with both, i consistently shoot to the left (9-o'clock) of center. i've tried federal hydrashock and magsafe rounds with the same result.

someone at the range suggested that shooting expensive rounds (especially the magsafe!) is taking a psychological toll and that maybe i'm getting nervous or otherwise changing how i shoot without knowing.

does this happen or are can the ballistic characteristics of the rounds be THAT different?
