Thread: What's changed- more advice for the newbie

COULDNT quite get what I wanted but when you run figures and have a 225yard zero...2" high at hundred is darn close to it...means you can point n shoot on magpie with XHAIR on centre of mass and expect a hit out to about 275..... will try to get proper picture/graph to show what I mean.

care of www.huntingnut

asuming BC is indeed .467 and programme uses G1 data this will be about right
asumed 3130fps average
75grn
1.5''above bore is centre of scope
by pushing zero out to 240 yards it fits better than 225 yards.

@grandpamac you're right that does sound complicated. I'm currently using the Hornady app and it has been successful out to 350m so far. I will have a play around with it and see. I am reluctant though given my current system is working

Greetings Charliehorse,
The good thing about playing with new ideas is that you don't have to change what you are already doing unless you can see an advantage. After all you don't need to change anything unless it works for you.

I am a convert to the point blank zero theory and mil or bdc reticles, make pb zero as long as you can then use the drop marks. I don't like twiddling dials. When using your ballistic app have a play with scope height as well the results will possibly interest you.
