Do I need to reshoot all my dope after scope ring change?

[Lootenplunder]

I mounted a new set of rings on my CZ 457. They are higher than the previous rings and have 20 MOA built in. I re adjusted my zero at 50 yards. My question is will i have to reshoot my dope again for every range. Or will my adjustments still be accurate. I have dope from 50 to 210 yards, every ten yards. My thought process is that once my 50 yard zero is set, the relationship to my dope table should be the same. But I worry the different height on the rings changes that. Any advice?

I mean why not shoot it and confirm it? Makes absolutely no sense not to.

Only one local range allows me to set up targets at my own distances. And don't yet own a range finder, so running up and down a 300 foot measuring tape setting up targets is kind of a bummer. I guess i could spot check a hand full of them and see if they are in or not. I also have an NRL22x event in a week and now I am worried my dope is all off.

Try getting ballistics app to output your known dope curve...with the old sight heigh....then solve/correct to your new ∆ sight height...no need to outsmart or second-guess the computer's calculations. AFAIK.

If I had an match in a week and changed anything on my rifle I’d be doubling checking my dope. I switched chassis before my previous match, shot 250 rounds to make sure I was comfortable. Switched rings, shot 250 rounds confirming and practicing, switched optics obviously rezeroeed confirmed dope. Will be switching optics again I think and will have to double check again! I have a match end of august hoping new scope will be here for and I’ll shoot 250 on zeroing snd practice with getting dope

D.O.P.E. ! You don’t have any and you want a short cut to getting some before a competition. You do realize your competition is gonna have actual DOPE not short cut dope? Change anything and reconfirm everything that’s my SOP. I wouldn’t wanna incur the expense of competing and not have actual dope. Just my humble opinion

Always reconfirm DOPE. Spend a couple hundred and invest in a range Finder or beg someone that hunts who has one to borrow it. Then buy them a gift card to eat somewhere for saving your Butt. There is no way I’d change anything the week before a big match unless it broke.

Have to?

Edit your solver's settings and check drop at 100 and 200. 10 rounds and 10 mins will supply you with the answer.
