ORIGINAL: semi

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 toknow where the bullet will hit - a couple of test shots will NOT drive the deer out of the county!

at 100 yds, you will be low and to the left of your original aiming point.
This guy obviously has a crystal ball! He could not have any means of knowing this otherwise, since he has not shot the questioner's rifle!! This is pretty amusing!
