I was at the range yesterday working with a 375 for an upcoming moose hunt. This particular gun likes heavy bullets (300's).
Zeroes at 200, shot to confirm at both 300 and 100.
After a lot of work, I was simply not comfortable at 300 with the scope at max magnification and no type of hold over reticle.
I would caution that changing bullet weights may/may not mean simply moving elevation. There can certainly be windage adjustments needed as well.
There is no way I would consider two different bullet weights unless I got lucky and they shot to the same POI.
KISS. The last thing you want going through your mind as you are setting up a shot is "I wonder if I have the correct zero dialed in"
