I've searched this question only to find general q/a... I'm looking to go a little more detail and need some thoughts from you guys...
I have two 5.56 barreled rifles zero'd with .223 64 grain fmj.
I just recently picked up 400 rounds of 5.56 55 grain fmj on a trade.
One rifle is set up long range 200+ and I will only shoot the 64gr .223 in it.
The other rifle I have sighted in at 50 yards for just playing around at the farm shooting critters.
My question is for the rifle I intend to shoot from 25-75 yards that I have zero'd at 50 with the 64 grain .223
Will the 55 grain 5.56 be noticeably off or will it be pretty much dead on as the .223 at 25-75yards? I know at further distances it would matter, which is why I wouldn't shoot it in my long range setup...
If it's noticeably different I may look into trading the 5.56 for the .223
Thanks
