New Barrel - 100 Yard Zero - Will Different Ammo Impact at 500 Yards?
I got my scope zero set with the new barrel at 100 yards using my planned match brass and loaded how I have been using it in my previous barrel. I wondered if I had to use a different ammo in a match, will I still be able to get impacts? I figured I'd just go out to 500 yards and see if my zero was accurate and then test a few different ammo options that I keep on hand just in case I need for an emergency.
As you can see, I actually ended up having better luck than expected.
I did not get chrono speeds from the different boxes or make any scope adjustments. I used the data from my match hand load and was still able to get impacts with some factory Hornady, Norma, and Berger. Plus, some of my match ammo from a previous loading that I still have not fire formed!
I am taking this info as good to know in the back of my head. If something went totally haywire at a match, I will still be able to pull out some boxed ammo and get on target pretty decently. I would want to get chrono speeds and adjust the offset in my Kestrel if I was able to verify that info during a match, but I think I could still complete a match and get a few hits without that data.
As much as I obsess and stress over the numbers, the more I do this I am learning that not all of them as big of a deal as I think they are. Sometimes, just taking it easy and having fun is all that will be needed to have a good range day! I really like making my numbers as close as possible, but this helps me to settle my brain knowing I don't really "have" to be so concerned about them!
Let me know if you want me to test anything else in these early shots on my new barrel. Gotta get my sizing die set up for the new chamber this weekend, so keep an eye out for that video next week!
