I'm at the range today sighting in my new VX-3 on a marlin 30-30.
i was using the Hornady leverrevolution bullets. I had bought a box last year that had 6 rounds left in it. I also had a new box i purchased this year.
I used the old ammo first( only 1 yr. old) I had the group at 2" consistently at 100 yds. Then i switched to the new ammo. the new ammo shot 5" low consistenly. Same ammo, same bullet, different lot number. This seemed really strange to me.
Is this new ammo under powered ? Has anyone else ever had this much of a difference just by going to a different lot # ?
