Thread: 25m zero

shooter is great, but it costs.

Norwest & bill

Do the apps/sites you mention have the specific feature I am asking for ?

Link, details, specific fields pls ?

@ebf pretty sure that shooter doesn't have what you're looking for .. and neither does Strelok .

Shooter is "OK", but I prefer Strelok ..... If you want pretty graphs and tables with Strelok you can send yourself the table, load it into Excel and format it up as you like it ...

I use strelok, the free version definitely does not have that feature

Unless I am blind, the Hornady calc, both basic and advanced does not have a field to enter a horizontal offset for the zero.

Shooter has exactly what your looking for ebf. Its called zero offset

Using sterlock you can go to where the scopes details are and set it as a zero at 2" high if thats what you mean.

Toby, are you not confusing it with scope height setting ? That is for low/high rings...

If your zeroing at a hundred and want it 2 inch high or whatever why not just wind on 2moa?
That's what i do get a good zero at 100 and if hunting open country wind on 2moa then can take quick shots out to 300ish without having to range or think and if its further should have the time to range and fire up shooter.

Unless you have a zero stop single turn scope and need the extra elevation for range, but another 2moa isn't goin to get you much further anyway.

There's a few pgms and websites about for online ballistic calcs.

Hawke scopes have a free pgm:

You can also print off scope dope charts, etc...

Nope never mind, I was looking at the zero distance I just looked at it again. I thought you could set it so it could be 2" high or whatever you'd like.

Thanks for the replies guys. Scope is still set at 25m zero. Gonna sight in further next time im in the sticks. But theres opportunity to see some deer very close to where ill be sighting. And wouldnt hesitate to pop off a shot if the opportunity did eventuate. There last 3 25 m zero holes were almost all touching dead centre of target. I figure the main variant will be vertical trajectory. Shouldnt stray much left or right.

If I want an offset I'll just use trial and error to work out what the zero range will be.

I also do that if I'm wanting to find the zero distance the bullet will rise and fall no more than a certain measurement.
Eg, zero at 150m bullet will be the highest of 1" high at 100m and 1" low at 175m.

Shooter had it under the info you enter for the bullet. Its called zero offset.
