Isnt progress wonderful.
I don't how we went on years ago, we just went out and shot!

Zero at 50 yds with Eley subs. In my case 2 mil dots low at 100yds so 7"

You will need to find a bullet your rifle likes. Then after 50 yd zero shoot 5 round gps at 10 yd intervals and compile your own dope chart.
Only need to do it once.

thanks to everyone for the input, I don't have a chrono (yet). So, being an old-fashioned kind of guy, I'll do it the old fashioned way - and measure drop over distances to produce my own chart.
Seems like a chronograph could be on my birthday list though

If you measure your ‘real world’ drops at 10 yard intervals you can then go back to your calculator & adjust the MV value until it produces the same drops. This will then allow you to use it for intermediate ranges or to extend the distances.

As others have said though, getting the scope height correct (distance from centre of bore to centre of scope tube) is critical

I use the Element Ballistic app which is free. Easy to set up and has been good for me on steel targets at Bisley with my 22lr out to over 250yards.

yes box spec for eley subs 1025 fps

Agree with the chrono, you will not get near if you don’t know the speeds, i shoot eley subs too the average at 1072 in my rifle. As mentioned if you don’t have a chrono, zero at 50 and learn your drops for hold over past that.

i use an Alpex on My 22LR and with the inbuilt calculator it is spot on.

zero'd at 50 yards, shot a hare last week at 135 yards. clean shot.

if you are looking for a designated ""LR scope i have a Brand New in the box Hawke one for sale

What is the 22 LR scope you are selling?

What is the 22 LR scope you are selling?

its the Hawke scope with the hold overs pre printed on it for range, just zero at 50 yards and should be accurate out to 250 yards.
