Not changing scope?

[Gwtaylor]

Question
Was told that if you change your load of pellets to 100 grain from 150 grain that under 100 yards you will not have to adjust your scope. Is this true?

50% difference in weight? I'd doubt it unless you're using 50 bmg like my son.

Shoot it and verify for yourself. No one can tell you as the timing and barrel harmonics changed.

Only one way to know, shoot it.

X2 shoot it and find out. A lot more enjoyable also

 

[Gravey]

I wouldn't trust that and shoot it like everybody else has suggested.

Agree with the others, poi may or may not change, best to know for certain and have total confidence.

Back when I used Pyrodex pellets, I swapped from 2 of the 50 grain pellets over to 3 of the 30 grain. Mine didn't change, but as posted you'd have to shoot it and see.

Btw, I don't think you'd be gaining anything by shooting over 100grains of powder. (Most of that (powder over 100 grains) will be burned outside the barrel and likely wasted.)

It will change your poi.

Shoot it then you will know .

When I switched from 120 gr of blackhorn to 90, it changed mine. I could've still killed a deer, but I wanted it to be as close to my mark as I could get it.
