Time for another run at some long distance fun. Match is on Sunday June 25. Registration until 10:15, then a Shooters meeting, final sight in from 10:30-11:00.
White targets this time, so crosshairs should show up better.
Same distances, 75, 110, & 165 yards.
For those interested in trying this who are limited to 100 yards, I fired some groups at different distances to find how far the bullet drops. Starting with a 100 yard zero, CCI Standard Velocity dropped another couple inches at 110 yards. I then posted a large target at 110 yards and fired a group to zero my crosshair. I then took the target out to 165 yards and fired the same ammo with the same aiming point. A 10 shot group had a drop of about 18 inches. If my math is correct (and I'm not saying it is) the 20 inch drop from 100 to 165 yards is 20 MOA? Does that sound right? My scope won't crank up that far but it has hash marks that I use instead. If my math is wrong, please correct.
Questions? Will respond here or in PM.
