[allydog 4]

Hi chaps,anyone got any ideas what range i should zero my .243 for 100 grn,normally i use 75 grn and zero 1" high at 100 yrds for mainly fox'n,but started going mainly after deer some fox'n,most of which 50-150 yards max,been told 1"high @50 yards so anything up to 150 straight at it? cheers

i always zero at 100 yards, and you still still be able to point and shoot out to about 150... but to be bang on i adjust the elevation

 

as i've got droptables done out on the butler creek caps, but if its a quick shot i just point and shoot...

 

ATB.

 

 

Snap.

Have a look on the net Allydog, there are lots of write ups and ballistic tables on there.

I zero mine at 1" high at 100 yards. I use Federal 100 grain but put some grain through and the differance at that range with my shooting wasn't noticeable.

I often zero at 50 yard bang on.

 

Purely because this takes some of the variable out.

 

Then take it back to 100 and it should be just a touch high. This will do you for stalking ranges

 

Just how i do it but its simple

That's the range at which the bullet passes UP through the line of site. It will pass down through the line of site at about 140yrds(assuming MV of 3000fps). How high is your scope above the barrel?
