Sighting in 300 WSM using barnes 168TTSX at a muzzle velocity of 3080 fps. The rifle is a Tikka T3 stainless with a Leopould VX3 4.5-14 scope. How do I know where the "zero" is on the rifle? I'm trying to get correct ballistics info.
Here's what I have now: My point of impact is 3.7 inches high at 100 yards, (sub MOA, as a 5 shot group is .75"). How do I calculate what it will do at 200-500 yards? Some ballistic calculators say the slug is still travelling upwards at 200 yards, (I assume they base that on rifle angle?)
Just looking for the best way to figure out point of impact at various ranges given being over 3" high at 100 yards.
Thanks!
