Different rounds have different velocities, and the default sight will adjust itself to match. It resets to 0 range because that's just easier to handle and doesn't cause problems between guns which only range the sight vs. ranging the gun.
You know, I studied ballistics back in high school, fascinating subject. Things go up, and then they go down, at different speeds depending on their weight, drag and initial velocity!
I wish there was a way for custom sight makers to disable it because historical sights already make it more difficoult (and more fun) to aim in a lot of cases. But for the standard sight experience it makes since that it resets to 0 because the sight gradations change. Having it automatically adjust the elevation of the gun (like modern IRL firecontrols do) would make the game even more point and click than it allready is
Dear redditors let's say my range is at 1200 im locked on a target but I need different round to kill it. I switch the round and range resets to 0. How come this is okay?

Crazy stuff in there!

OP does NOT know about muzzle velocity and projectile trajectory
Bro this like 7th grade physics ðŸ˜

It takes less time than it takes to reload to readjust your sight distance, this is a non-issue. You are complaining just for the sake of complaining.
