Thread: 50 meter zero

A question for you ballistic guru's
Was at Taupo range yesterday and being wet an miserable I could only use the 50mtr sheltered range to sight in my new tikka 708
Now I know 50 isn't the best for sighting in,but its all I had,
I'm using factory 139gr SST and was punting them roughly 1/4in high,
So where would they be going at 100,200,300?
Sorry for the novice questions guys

About 300ish

@rookiesniper

you can work it out yourself, here's how

go to jbmballistics.com
trajectory calc
select the Hornady 284 139 SST from the library dropdown
set zero height to 0.25
set zero range to 50
set max range to 300
set range increment to 100

to make it accurate, you will need to know the muzzle velocity and enter that, you can sometimes get a ballpark idea on the ammo box or manufacturers website, or ask on here, someone might know.

thanx ebf will look into that
