    FWIW, shooting 5.56 62gr FMJ, and Indy M193 at 100 yards was the same with my shooting. .223 FMJ 55gr had a too different POI.
    So I would have changed my zero slightly.

    Out to 600yards, minute of steel man, is where I saw the difference. I should add that it was solely because of pressure. .223 55gr requires a greater holdover. When I get home from WI, I will test the three FMJ loads I have.

    With my COG zeroed at 100 yards with CBC 62gr, 5.56 77gr shot about an inch or two low and to the right. I thought it would shoot higher. But it shined at 600. Again I was not going for groups, but it seemed this bullet, even without optic zeroed for it, flew the straightest.


    *The "testing" I did has no value outside the life of Zane, just thought I'd share my expirence with bullet weights and how they act in my good with my own shooting.*
