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

Also there's alot of anecdotal data(and possibly some empirical data) that says you need to clean the barrel to steel to get good groups when switching from lead core to monolithic copper.

That’s interesting. I think I’ll see how it does first…

There is a lot of info here that is true but not really important here, the 350 is a 150 yard gun and if zero is off by two inches or it groups 3 inches that won’t make any real difference

I did wonder about that key detail. My takeaway from all this, though, is that I should re-zero---with the logic of I can't possibly regret doing so, but could definitely regret not.

A couple gallons of gas is a small price to pay, and it's always fun to get to the range.

At the moment, I have only one box of the monometal ammo; I'm hoping that's more than enough for both the sighting and the (one tag) hunt.

Really wish there were a closer place to sight in, but all the nearer ones are membership-based clubs with elaborate joining procedures that require you to know someone (I don't) or attend events to make contacts, but those are always at times that'll never mesh with my work schedule. They're clearly not looking for casual folks like me who'd just come four or five times a year--though I'd gladly pay the full dues to save the pain of driving out the eastern shore. Ah well. Worse problems one could have.

There's a philosophical point in there though. And that is that we are responsible for knowing exactly where every bullet we shoot is going to go.
