Would you bother to re-zero? (ammo change)

[pods8 (Rugged Stitching)]

Just to reiterate it all ammo in a given gun won’t hit the same spot at 100yd. The “zero”, can vary notably just due to the different bullet and ammo lot interacting with the barrel.

-The charts are about trajectory. But it requires knowing a zero point in your gun for that specific ammo to mean anything.

Check zero. Numerous threads on RS to learn how to properly do it. Doing things right is usually more expensive up front but pays off long term with $ saved or aggravation minimized. Half assing almost anything is not a virtue

yes I'd re-zero.

I'm wouldnt worry too much about shooting a rokslide approved number of rounds.

Get three boxes of the new ammo and check your zero with a good sized group (10 shots). Make the required adjustments off that group. Then confirm it with another 10-shot group.

He's shooting 150yrds max.......

I usually buy 200 of the same lot, devote 20 to sighting in and confirming a good zero, then have the rest to hunt with for the rest of my life.

thats just sad

So if I’m reading the room, it sounds like people think I should rezero.

Really appreciate this, all.

I'm also in the check zero camp. Can you maybe do it at the hunt location?

 

[Annapolis]

I don’t think so—but I could probably ask around and find a farm or somewhere closer by where they’d let me do it.
