Fast and flat - really??.....

I``ll have to through these in as we are talking flat shooters ...

In simple terms, a woodland shooter will not shoot the same distances as a hillside or open farmland, so their poi will differ along with how and where they zero the rifle.
My friend runs his .270 with a poi at 225 yards allowing him to have a 4" poi out to 300 yards ie. no hold over/under required.

Zeroed my 7mm rem mag 3" at 100yds shoots in killzone upto 300 yds

not a massive difference between all the popular/common loads is there?

​Exactly!

to be clear, rightly or wrongly I was trying to eliminate the shooting high bit quotes because they don't make sense to a simpleton like me. I am not assessing the ballistics trajectory. Also I have no idea what you are on about when adjusting scopes. Same scope, hit the bull at 100m, where's your round at 200m and 300m.

Put simply in order to hit a bull at 200yds we must consider the drop in the bullets flightpath, in order to achieve this we have to compensate and set up the scope to a point to shoot high enough initially so that when it reaches the 200yd mark it has returned to its original flightpath.

Hence usually 1" high at 100yds suits most scenarios for small game and vermin.

I read a 6" drop for your accubond at 300yds with a 200yd zero ? are you sure your reading the chart correctly because the ony way i can see to get a 4" drop is to read down the column which is zero not range? read along the 200yd zero line from left to right to get your drops at different ranges with a 200yd zero.

those look very similar to standard .270 factory data
1.2", 0.0, 6.3" (100, 200, 300)

You have to read the chart 'vertically' from the zero. e.g. 110gn AB zero @ 200 shows POI 2.2" high at 100yds & 4" ins low @ 300yds
The chart is not read 'horizontally' as there's no way 1.1" high @100yds will zero @ 200yds. ATB

remember 209 , 2" high at 100 0 at 200 and 9" low at 300 , most calibres are within an inch of this and remembering it will get you killing hits out to 300.

That seems to hold pretty well with the calibre tables I've looked at.
​A good tip, thank you.

i zero my 20 tac at 1" high @100 and im dusting midi clays out to 300 with no hold over.

i also used to zero my 243 1" high @ 100 and its fine out to 200, but its not used anymore,

The left hand column is your zero distance and you read your corrections left to right horizontally from the respective range column , so I'm afraid your wrong.

so your telling me with your 200 zero it only drops 14" at 500 ?

Sorry, but I'm definitely not wrong, read chart vertically & yes if that's what the chart says, then 14" will be approx. right. I've only tried at 500yds once on gongs with Mike at Calton Moor range & I didn't miss the 500yd disc.... although that disc was bigger than 8" dia. Whatever it was, it looked very small through my scope.
The holdover for 300 & 400 yds is exactly as per the chart read vertically......I'm happy with that - it works

well your still wrong I'm afraid but if it works for you then knock yourself out !

I have a monkey in used notes that ill give you if with a 200yd zero you can prove a 14" drop at 500 yds with your 110g accubond out of your 25/06 BUT if you can't then you owe me the same ?

Before you answer (and I'm serious) check and double check your data ?

I thought the saying was as flat as a witches tit or flat as a pancake

Wrongggggg. That's cold as a witches tit. Flat as a fart springs to mind. Far more important than 1" at 100 yards.

.243 superformance hornady v max 58 grains zeroed 1.4 inches high at 100 yards , shoots smack on at 250 and 2.4 inches low at 300

 

[swarovski]

Think it was 50.7grs of varget behind 75gr v max

 

[tackb]

.243 superformance hornady v max 58 grains zeroed 1.4 inches high at 100 yards , shoots smack on at 250 and 2.4 inches low at 300

so your zeroed at 250 yds ?

 

[tackb]

and i'm still waiting for a reply to my challenge deeangeo ?

 

[swarovski]

My 25 06 with 85gr nos bal tips zeroed cock on at 100yds drops 170mm at 300yds,i would imagine 1inch high at 100yds it would drop around 4 inches at 300yds, though bullet is heavier than the 75gr v max bc is higher

tackb - you're spot on with your reading of the table.

deeangeo - it's a very confusing printout and as such not much use to anyone, but tackb has got the reading of the numbers spot on. I suggest you take the input parameters and use a ballistic calculator to recalculate the 200yd zero trajectory.
