[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2309660, member: 118816"] OK, just to keep from beating around the bush, they absolutely will not print the same on the target and each will have a different zero. Will the bullet perform the same in both cartridges, no to that one too. Bullet performance varies with the velocity and energy available at a given range. Change the velocity/energy and you have different performance. The point of impact can even vary with the same ammo but produced on a different day and have different lot numbers. Variations in manufacturing are the cause of this. While the cases and bullets may be a constant different batches of primers and powders and the assembly lines don't always respond the same. The only way to ensure any consistency is to buy ammo all from the same lot otherwise there will be variations in performance box to box. I have had variances of 2 or more inches in the point of impact between lots of the same ammo. Check each box you buy to make sure that they have the same lot number. See the photo below. You will see the lot number in this picture on the upper left hand corner of the box. When you buy multiple boxes make sure that the lot numbers match. There is a good possibility that on the same shelf at the same dealer there may be two or more different lots, the chances of each of them shooting the same is pretty close to nil.
