Where should I be? *(.243 question)*

Recommended Posts

I sighted in my new .243 with 100grn Corelokt. I was at 2" high at 100yds (and maybe a little change, say 2.5"). I figured when I dropped back to 200yds Id be dead on but negative... It dropped very little!

I would like to be dead on at 200yds so where would I need to be at 100 to center up at 200? Ive only shot 1-box of shells out of a .243 so I know very little about their flight.

Thanks gang!

That would work....... except,

I can sight in at 100yds easily. The target is very clear and large in my scope. I step back to 200 and things get smaller, even with the 6x18x50mm.

I will be dead on for a couple of shots and then I drift. At 100 im holding GOOD groups.

I don't remember where I got the free version of Remington Shoot Ballistics Software, but it says the same as AJ already stated.

Set the scope 1.63" high at 100 yards for a Zero of 200 yards.

I am using the same atmospheric conditions as would be applicable in AR., because I think your altitude and barometric pressure would be about the same.

According to this program you can also have your target at 50 yards and adjust the scope only .61" high, and you will still be on zero at 200 yards.

This is also taking in the Bullet coefficient of .356, muzzle velocity of 2960 and using a 100 grn. pointed soft point core-lokt.
