I normally shoot 150grn Rem Core Loks. I'm sighted in 1 3/4" high at about 115 yds. I tried a bunch of no-name ball fmj ammo and was now grouping almost an inch low at the same distance. The ball ammo wasn't loaded nearly as hot as the Rems.

I don't know about Lake City stuff, but this tells me that there is quite a bit of variability in the various choices.
