Hello all! I hope everyone is having a good summer? I don't get on here much anymore but i need some help tonight. I made a range card last summer which disappeared when i swapped out stocks on my 223rem. I had several coyotes come out at 300yards the other night and fired about 3-4 rounds and doesn't appear I touched a single one. I adjusted my scope turrets up about 3-4'' figuring 1.5'' with 100yard zero puts you on at 200yards. We are heading back out tonight and i was doing a little research to see just how far off i really was and one source says 223rem 55gr FMJ factory 200 yard zero to hit something 300yards you need 7.7'' of elevation adjustment. Another source which comes from the local club that does 300yard rifle matches says 100yard zero=3.5'' at 300yards.
Does that 7.7 seem just a hair off to you guys? If i remember correctly it was about 3.5-4'' hold over for 300yards. I am shooting a 55gr BT at 3200fps. 1-9 twist 22'' barrel.
Thanks for any input.
I should also add im just trying to see where its at on paper but we cannot shoot a ton of rounds out there so just 4 rounds to see where it hits 100-300yards.
