Quote from: Special T on November 29, 2011, 12:26:45 PMI say it depends how far out you plan on shooting, If you look at the Remington balistic calculator and compare he long range dropp of a 125 grain bullet and a 180 grain at 300 yrds its 1.4 in, 400yrds there is only 2.5" diff and @500 a 4.5in diff So out to 300 yards there is really not any significant difference. I have my 06 sited in with 165 grain so its a split the difference if i go up or down... But i usually shoot military ball at coyotes so i don't really care. Thanks for the reply. What about changing bullets? Say, going from an Accubond to a Core lokt, for example. I know guns like certain bullets better than others, but would a 165gr Remington be zeroed in for a 165gr Winchester?
