[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 442946, member: 8873"] As stated earlier: Find the load you want then worry about zeroing. If you zero with one load and then switch to another, expect a shift in POI different from the load you originally zeroed with. It can be verticle, horizontal or all the above! It can be with the same grain bullet or even the exact same bullet over a different powder/primer combo. This may not always be the case, but you should expect it. I know all too many guys that sight in with one load then switch to another to hunt with, it can/will change POI. You need to check it, which you have done and found that the POI shifts left with that load from the original load's zero. Example 1: My .308 AR has a different POI with the same zero from two different companies using the 175gr SMK with basically the same load. It is about 1moa verticle shift. Example 2: My .338 EDGE has a 1/2moa horizontal and verticle shift by just changing the primer from FED215 to CCI 250. Example 3: My Savage 7mm shoots my loads and a couple factory loads to same POI (the factory groups just open up more). [/QUOTE]
