Green Tips How does shooting different weight bullets affect trajectory?

Question by Danny: How does shooting different weight bullets affect trajectory?
I have lots of XM855 “Green Tip” ammo that I have my AR with a 1:9 twist rate zeroed to 50 yards with. I think it’s a good idea to stock up and practice with 55 grain bullets because of their commonality. If I shoot 62 grain bullets, how will my zero work with the lighter bullets?

Best answer:

Answer by Tex
It would depend on the muzzle velocity, Danny. But at the same MV lighter bullets will have a flatter trajectory than heavier bullets.

What do you think? Answer below!
