So I just finished zeroeing my scope on a new one-piece base and rings. (DNZ Game Reaper) I set zero dead on at 100 yrds (because that's all my local range has) using factory loaded, old-school, cup and core Winchester Super-X 100 grn ammo. (.243 Win).
I'm using the Winchester ballistics app on my iPod. I set sight height at 0.9" (actual is 0.92, but the app only does 0.1" increments) with a 100 yrd zero, it shows a bullet drop of 3.9" at 200 yrds.
SOOO. Correct me if I'm wrong...but I should be able to simply adjust my scope by raising it up about 16 clicks (4") and be pretty close to dead on. Correct?
If so, then that means, using my scope's bullet drop compensator, I should be close to dead on all along the scale. (200 yrd zero on the crosshairs, next mark down is 300, and the next is 400)
I would prefer to actually fire ammo at targets at those ranges but that probably won't be an option.
I hate leaving something like this to math, so...someone check my math.
