Fx m3 POI change pellet vs slug

[tldurst]

I rotated the barrel on my M3 and the POI was not even on the paper at 25 yards. Has anyone else experienced this drastic change?

 

[Duanen]

Could it be the tensioner? That's the only thing I could think of.

Yes, indexing any barrel be it FX, LW, or CZ could make a drastic change in poi.

I do own a M3 and have Indexed my barrel. Each change moved poi quite a lot.

 

[tldurst]

Possibly. I'm just getting aquatinted with the M3.

Yup, this happens with me. It’s normal. You’ll have to rezero your scope when flipping the barrel. No so much of you decide shooting pellets out of the slug side. I haven’t seen too much accuracy changes when shooting pellets out of the bigger port.

I only experienced this situation when my barrel actually curved, buy rotation point of impact changed dramatically.

 

[tldurst]

Agreed. I think I'll leave the barrel turned for slugs.

I'd tune for slugs on highest setting and then find a setting that shoots the best group with pellets. You can get a rough adjustment.

I'm waiting on my M3, but this is my plan as well, I'm just hoping there's something on the macro/micro adjustments that will gel with the pellets. Anyone shooting NSAs or FX Hybrids that have experience with this yet?
