2 levels difference isn't much (Destiny)

at 2%, most of the time you won't even need an extra bullet, and the more impact a weapon has the lower the effect of the reduction. A red hand will still be doing 87 dmg a shot, and with a goal of about 200 dmg, you are going to need 3 shots, same as if you were the same level.

It would take a 42% reduction to require an extra head shot, and a 30% reduction to require an additional body shot.

So if you are lower level, switch to high impact weapons and you minimize the IB scaling effect.

That only thing that matters is abilities that do the exact amount of damage needed to kill. But that has always been true, so I will stop talking now.
