Thread: trajectory validation distance

To truly verify your MV you need to shoot to a range that is 10 percent less then the point where your projectile goes transonic. If you wish to shoot further where your projectile is subsonic then that is a seperate verification that you need to do aswell. For most hunting applications simply choose a distance beyond what you would shoot game at and verify to there. For a hunting rifle I would normally try do something like 300, 500 and 700 making sure I know my atmospheric conditions and the zero is true.
