Deker 3,491 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Do i have to re zero my rifle every time i buy a new brick of ammo If we assume it is the same ammo and a reputable manufacturer then the answer SHOULD be NO. Obviously, if you change ammo the answer is yes, but if you are hunting, a couple of shots to check is always a good idea anyway!! Quote Link to post
landrover 6 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 As deker says above, but we try to have a zeroing session maybe every fortnight or the day before we go out just to make sure everything is on zero Quote Link to post
Country Life 0 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Yes I would agree with the above, BUT I always check zero eveery outing just in case. I also check the batch number on the box, and every batch that is differant gets a zero check. John Quote Link to post
richie 1 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 i check my zero before each outing.... Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I check the Zero on my HMR after the last shot of the session. E.G. If I'm going out and shooting say Crows, I know that it will be shooting well enough, but after I've shot a few and before I go home, I put up a target and fire a five shot group, just to see where it's shooting exactly.

SS I'm too f****** tired or cold or wet or the batteries are dead when I go home...any doubts I check at the start of the next outing!! Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I do try and make sure that I do it in daylight Tried paper punching on the lamp quite recently and.............................................. results! If I was out lamping, I would be in the same boat, bed would be calling too loudly by then! SS Quote Link to post

If I was out lamping, I would be in the same boat, bed would be calling too loudly by then! SS Out with Mr L last night and he was having a little grief with the .223....we were that close to checking his zero late on with the lamp...but after we supplied the cowboys (yep... really) at the local camp with loads of rabbits (they were going to have them for breakfast :sick: :sick:)]...it's a long story........ his batteries died.........and the kebabs were calling!!!

SportingShooter 0 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hate that when the rifle goes wrong and you just cant figure out why, and you get in such a tizz that it doesn't make any sense! What was wrong in the end or just knocked off Zero? Quote Link to post

The one 8,598 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I usually check it when i buy 500 bullets as i travel 40 mile for some lamping and its a long way to go if the rifles off Quote Link to post
