POA/POI with 50 and 70 g TSX
In my urban environment on Staten Island, I want to be able to hit head-size targets out to about 150 yards and with this in mind I went to range this weekend and zeroed 16" BCM with .223 ASYM 70g TSX rounds at 50 yards. Wanted to see if could meet my objectives with either 50 or 70g rounds without changing zero or POA.
After satisfied with the zero (four MOA Aimpoint RDS), loaded 5.56 Black Hills 50 grain TSXs to see difference.
At 100 yards, was easily able to keep rounds inside a 5" target from standing and kneeling positions.
In order to confirm to myself that it will do what I want, I had my targets of choice, 2 liter, water-filled soda bottles spread out from 100-150 yards. Only missed one bottle out of 20 and a second round quickly put an end to it's useful life. This was 10 with each round.
I'm sure it becomes an increasingly different issue past 150 yards and I hope to see by how much next time out although "my" range only goes to 200 yards.
Is that an expected result inside of 150 yards? Does different ammunition only become a factor when shooting out past 200+?

"Why "zombies"? Because calling it 'training to stop a rioting, starving, panicking, desperate mob after a complete governmental financial collapse apocalypse' is just too wordy." or in light of current events: training to stop a rioting, looting, molotov cocktail throwing, skinny jeans wearing, uneducated bunch of lemmings duped by, or working directly for, a marxist organization attempting to tear down America while hiding behind a race-based name
