    None.
    If point of aim is the same you should get the same POI.

    You shouldn't be getting point of impact changes at different magnifications. What's the scope?

    Unless your using a different part of a crosshair to the very centre?
    Second leg of a ballistic plex for example?
    If your using the very centre, POI shouldn't change because of magnification, regardless of focal plane.
    (I'm FAIRLY sure, anyway!)

    That's very strange. Have heard of it in cheaper scopes, but never the better ones.

    maybe there is no change in poi ,i had a thought in my head that if the scope is zeroed in a specific mag and if u switch to a higher mag the poi changes especially when the scope is in the second focal plane
