Standard velocity ammo is sub-sonic and can be intertwined in usage. That’s all i shoot in my bolt guns due to high accuracy potential at 50-75 yds where hyper velo ammo goes from trans sonic to sub sonic groups get a lil funky due to the barrier being broken from trans to sub sonic.
Thanks for your thought and I intend to keep using the scope but will keep a keen eye on it also,

"Ended up just pulling the scope (VX3 3.5-10x40 CDS) and tapping it against a big boulder 60 yards away from where I was standing."

Understandable since Leupold is 'hard headed'. Take for instance their 'Wide Duplex'......in matte scopes, but Duplex in Gloss. ZERO Logic, and why they ignore consumer complaints....well, it must be the bean counters.

As to POI, Subs will give a noticeable shift in POI. As to the 'tapping' the turrets, seems that was on friction scopes, sometimes it takes a fired shot or three to get the adjustment to 'move'....good luck.
