300 blk ammo question

[Ian's Dad]

I'm going to start practicing more with my 300 blk 10.5" pistol. That's going to require buying more ammo. I'll be looking for good deals.

My question is whether I will notice enough difference in zero between 110 gr, 125 gr and 145 gr I side 100 yards?

Plan on using 110gr for home defense but sometimes see 125 and 145 cheaper

Do you have velocities on each? If you do, easy to plug into a ballistics calculator.

Recommendations on a simple ballistics calculator that doesn't require me to know the moisture level in the inside of the cartridges on Thursdays in April in order to use it?

I mostly shoot AAC 110gr v max since they're so dang affordable, but I've done some shooting with 125 and 147gr ball and haven't noticed much impact shift at 50 and in, though I suspect there would be some change at 100 and beyond, but I wouldn't think much.

Even at 50 yards, 220gr subs are surpringly close to poa/poi, with only a couple inches of drop, so that's what im basing this on, obviously spread is only going to get more extreme at distance though.

I didn't reload anything less than 150gr

My 8.5" is zeroed for 50y with 220gr subs. I loaded up some 125gr FMJ for top velocity and they hit around 6" high and 3 or so inches right of the target at 100y. I wanted to know exactly what you're thinking so I tried it out.
