3 inches high at 100 yards
I am shooting a Savage 110 FP using Hornady 165 grain Boat Tail Match ammo. It is capable of shooting "clover leafs" at one hundred and two hundred yards. Sighted in at 2 inches high which puts me on at 200 yards. My question is, "What would be the dead on if I sighted it in at 3 inches high at 100 yards?
Is there a table for hold overs at 300, 400, 500 yards for a 3 inch sight in? Where I hunt pasture poodles (chucks), I could take shots up to 600 yards
.
I would appreciate any information that can be passed along.
Not related, but I went to the Remington Co web site for their ammo ballistics and I do not understand the chart. At 500 feet (not yards) their .308 bullet drops 54 inches.
Is this something new?
Maybe I am wrong.....Firearms Comparison - Shotguns Comparison - Rifles Comparison - Remington Guns Comparison
Get the Sierra Rifle Reloading Manual
Get hold of a copy of the Sierra Rifle Reloading Manual. Towards the back there is a large chapter full of ballistic tables. There is enough information for a wide range of calibers, bullet weights and muzzle velocities to enable you to make a very good estimate.
But you need to know (or have a very good idea) of
... the muzzle velocity
AND (easily overlooked)...
... the height of the sight line above the barrel center line. With telescopic sights this can make a noticeable difference to the result.
