Reloading 3 different rifles each for 500 / 600 / 700 yds.
4/21/2012 6:30:25 PM
Title pretty much as it all
I've got 3 different AR rifles, and I want to set up each for these specific distances.
I'm not going into the specifics of each rifle, nor the powder, and bullets I'm using. It's no big secret, but it would take up too much room here. Let's just leave it that each rifle will reach that distance comfortably, and I've got all kinds of powder and bullets to get the job done.
Now here's the problem. My legs are totally worn out. The best target distance I could do a FEW times is 100 yds, Can some of you experts recommend for how high above the bullseye @ 100 yards target
for the 600 and 700 yd. distances. The 500 yd. rifle is my old standby, and I know where to set it.If you can get me close, I can fine tune it from where the dust kicks up from the bullet.
Rifles 2 & 3 are new, and I'll probably start with a 65 gr. Game King for rifle 2 , and I've got various
70 gr. bullets for rifle # 3.
I need this help BAD, as I've got a buddy coming over for a PD shoot pretty quick, and I've got to workup my test loads, then start reloading, so I've got to get with the program.
Last thing. I'm quite ill, and really don't even feel like doing this, so I need simple solutions. But when you have a buddy that's as close as we are, you'll do just about anything for them if you are true buddies.
TIA

ETA: forgot to add that I shoot off of saw horses, so keep that in mind on your calc's.

It's going to depend on bullet and velocity. You'll have to cough up those specifics.

Maybe you won't mind plugging in your secret values in there...

Your post is too complicated with what appears to be too many unnecessary, self-imposed restrictions. Break it down. What is it that you really want, in a nut shell, please?

bullet weight + velocity will give you what you are seeking
There are plenty of ballistics calculators out there, just t plug in the numbers.

The details of the bullet and muzzle velocity are needed to arrive at an answer.

This "doable" with a ballistics program once you give us the details on muzzle velocity and bullet you are using.

This is irrelevant to the calculations.
