I am looking for some ballistic/zeroing advice from someone with some experience with the Springfield Armory scopes and Ballisticards.
I have a 4-14 x 56 Mil Dot Government Model 7.62mm scope mounted on my Remington 700 PSS. I am issued and solely use Remington 168 gr. BTHP Match ammunition. I also have the Ballisticards for this caliber, which are set up perfectly in yards.
Here’s my dilemma: Yards versus meters. The scope is calibrated for bullet drop with automatic holdovers up from 200-1000 meters, with a 200 meter zero. I know I can make my own ballisticard on the computer set up for meters after doing some calculations, but my rangefinder is in yards, most ranges are set up in yards, and our qualification courses and training is all done in yards. And, I have to keep a 100 yard zero, per policy, training, and that’s what .308 ballistic charts are based upon. I’d like to be able to use the automatic holdovers, but how?
As for the mil dots, they’re a separate issue from this.
Should I just ignore the holdover marks on the scope and stick to the Ballisticards?
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to keep this simple, or something I’m missing here?
