I know i should resight in this situation but am looking for opinions...
I have been using 150 gr Corelokts for deer hunting for about 3 years in my M70 30.06. I started using this gr cuz i found a great deal on the ammo ($6 a box) a few years ago.
now i want to move up to 165 gr corelokts for this deer season. I won't have time to re-sight with my work schedule as i fly back in the day before opening day.
Will there be a huge difference in my accuracy? i think there could be but just wanted a more expert opinion. I am bring my other guns as well but sometimes i find the use for the 30.06 as my back up gun.
I don't know about accuracy, but you had better expect that the 165 will hit in a different place than the 150, because it probably will. If you haven't zeroed it for the 165, by all means take a couple of test shots with the new bullets when the first day's hunt comes to an end. You have to
know where the bullet will hit - a couple of test shots will NOT drive the deer out of the county!
