Between QUALITY factory loads? I am asking about grains from 55 to 77.

Does a 55gr federal Game King fly much different then a 55gr Federal Match King? Or would a 55gr SMK fly much different then a 77gr SMK at say 100-200 yards? (Would you notice a difference while using iron sights?)

Would a 55gr fly much different then a 64gr bullet that it would require that much adjustment?

Is it the difference in inches high or low at 100 yards of barley enough to see unless you are shooting a precision rig with quality glass?

I have sighted in with 55gr wolf and once I was consistent I've touched it up with my hunting ammo (64gr Winchester Power Points) and did notice a slightly tighter grouping but I am also using stock iron sights.

At what distance will you see a noticeable deviation at between the 55gr and 77gr?

at short distances, not much, i sight my guns in at 200, and my 60gr 223 vmax has the same POI and my 75 amax,, i also shoot 40gr and 69 and 55's.. most are with in 2" of POA,,, at 400+ you will start seeing bigger POI changes

there is photographic proof of this absolutely everywhere. and your question is quite vague. This has everything to do with the exact type and specs of the weapon that you are using to fire the cartridge.

weight plays a critical part...never really went onto compare 5.56 rounds
but my .308 acts significantly different going from the 168 to 175 rounds
