Hey there everyone,
I was just wondering if any of you experience zero shifts with different lots of popular ammo types, like M855 and Mk262? I've noticed I sometimes get a 0.5" consistent zero change when using a different lot of M855, but I'm not completely sure if it's actually the different lot of ammo causing the shift or just the fact that I'm shooting on a different day and doing something differently than I was the day I zeroed.
If this is a common thing, how big of a shift does it usually lead to? Do you compensate for it? Do you rezero with every lot? Do you not care if it's a miniscule amount?
Additionally, have you noticed the same with precision-esque ammo like Mk262? I'm looking to make a large Black Hills purchase soon, and wasn't sure if I should be worried if my order comes with different lots (since a half-inch zero change would be a big proportional shift using Mk262).
Many thanks to those of you with more rounds down range than I've shot.
