johnf Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 The last time I shot my 243 it was shooting 2" high at 100 yards. It's done quite a bit of traveling sence then. Last night I took it out to make sure it was still on but only had 75 yards to shoot. My pattern was very tight, but was about 1" low of my dot which would put it 3" lower than I expected it to be. Do I need to raise my crosshairs up 9 clicks to get it 2" high or is the flight path of the bullet still on it's upward climb at 75 yard? I just can't see it being that low at 75.

VTbowman Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Re: POI question. Not sure. Go to Remington or Federal web sites and look up your exact bullet weight,/model and check ballistics. Seems awful low to me as well at 75. If anything it would be the same or higher I would think... 50 yards I can see 1" below but not 75... JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ousoonerfan22 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Re: POI question. You would think it would be at least dead on or a 1/2" high at 75 yards. Are you using the same ammo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ousoonerfan22 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Re: POI question. Then your mounts might be loose or the scope has moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Re: POI question. Sorry about that. I just check the Winchester site and did not see a ballistics chart. I then went to the Remington site and they listed two shells at 100g in .243 Win. 1st said 0" (or zero) at 50 yards was 0.5" high at 100 yards; and the other said 0.1" high at 50 was 0.7" high at 100 yards. I doubt 1" low at 75 was good. Id re-sight in if I were you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Re: POI question. I shot 7 shells and got a very tight group (less than 1 moa) It was just low. I think I'll give it 9 clicks up and call it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Re: POI question. Sounds good. Hope I helped with the info... (???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwlacy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Re: POI question. According to Remington ballistics if your are 2 inches high at 100 you would be 1.5 high at 75 yards. This would put you right on at 215 yards. This was with 100 grain bullet at 2960 fps, with a low BC. You may need more than 9 clicks, at 75 yards one click will not be 1/4. Hope this helps.

AJ Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Re: POI question. You should be about 1.75" high at 75 yards to be 2" high at 100 yards. Hitting 1" low at 75 yards would give you about 1.25" low at 100 yards. If your scope was mechanically perfect and had true 1/4" clicks, you will need 13 clicks to bring it back to 2" high at 100 yards. I do not recommend adjusting it a bunch and taking it hunting without verifying it on paper first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
