Hi all,
About sighting in scopes.
I wonder if you have good advice regarding this. I have come across some very good info regarding sighting in at a shorter range, 50 meter, being preferred over longer range like 200 meters.
They have the following reasons:
1. 50 meter one has more confidence at right aiming.
2. trajectory is still going up and when sighting at 50 meters. This means between 100 and 200 meter (depending on the ammo) there is another 0. The bullet stays longer inside that famous 6-8 inch lethal area (picture a round long pipe).
3. Less wind and elevation factors error
disadvantage:
errors in sighting will become worse when shooting at longer distances due to the short range
What I am trying at the moment.:
sighting in at 50 meters.
CALCULATE the difference at 100 and 200 meter.
Dial the turret up to that CALCULATED elevation and check.
any thoughts?
