[QUOTE="T3ninja, post: 1901041, member: 95079"] I used the search but didn’t see what I was looking for. So just a quick background followed by simple Q. Rifle- .300 win 28” proof in XLR chassis Meopta optika6 <—- has performed flawless and I have no reason to think the scope is on the fritz. 2 loads ... 215 Berger and 190 Nosler CC. Both loaded with Ramshot magnum.. rifle is zeroed at 100 with the 215’s So I get to the range and first shot of the day is at 600 yards and it is perfect! So I follow with 2 more perfect shots at 1k! I am EXTREMELY happy. I put the rifle away and plink with the .308 for a bit. Pull it back out and start to burn up my 190 noslers (8-10 shots in about 35 min) After letting everything cool off and re painting targets I wanted to finish the night off with the 215’s. 800 yards... boom, Nothing. Sent another, nothing ???? After the 3rd shot I found the round hitting .4 mil low. With only one round left I shot again and it hit .2 low... out of ammo and range is closing so no more testing... So the Q is, has anyone noticed a big change in impact from switching bullets? I never changed my zero. I keep my zero set for the Berger’s and used the noslers just as trigger time. My ES/SD is very good (under 10), weather conditions were essentially the same, and I had a kestrel with me. Thanks in advance !! [/QUOTE]
