About .4 inch drop with the slower round at 300 yards.
Just a SWAG since I didn't look up the BC because it probably is the same in both.
I just plugged in a .36 but the lower the BC the more difference it will make but it's going to be measured in hundreths.
Don't hold me to it. It's late.
That's just graphite on paper. FMJ on paper could well vary more.

No. Each shot with one type of ammo will vary more than that in velocity.

I always assume any change in ammo will require a new zero.

Today I shot Hornady 75 Gn & Fed 62Gn TBBC. The carbine is zeroed for 75Gn and the 62Gn Shot low.

Well I would say it didn't make enough difference to not hit a silhouette at 300yds today nor miss anything in between. Thanks for the help!
