[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2478521, member: 1132"] On centerfire rifles, changing any one component of a round may effect your zero. Bullet weight, powder, primer, case, seating depth, neck tension, etc. On a centerfire pistol, the heavier the bullet, the higher it tends to hit. The dwell time of the bullet in the barrel is longer and the gun recoils up slightly more before the bullet exits the barrel. Changing any other individual component besides the bullet weight tends to impact accuracy, but has little perceptible effect on point of impact or "zero". Velocity tends to have less effect on zero than bullet weight. [/QUOTE]
