Thread: Creating a drop chart for a ballistic reticle

Also have 22lr sighted in at 60m for subs and same deal for drops at 75m and 100m (when I usually have time to check what magnification scope is set at). But I didn't calculate the drops, I set them up at the range shooting groups at different ranges.

I then have entered the 222 info into Strelok, but had to fettle with the velocity/projectile BC to get it to match what I shot at the range, just so I have to info to hand on my phone if I loose the little sticker on the scope.
