From what I can find, a 1" high zero at 100 (not sure if yards or meters, wasn't specified in my research) is supposed to line up pretty well with the BDC. I'd just like to see if its close enough for my purposes. Thanks in advance! https://www.trijicon.com/images/product_reticles/TA33-C-400129_reticle_popup.jpg View Quote Thanks |

View Quote FYI, if the reticle is made for meters the width of the lines will be for ranging in meters. So I put in 700 ft for elevation since you didn't specify. If you zero with 400y POI=POA (not quite the bottom of the dot POA at 100y), you will be really close from 100y-400y and high at 500y and 600y (600y hold would be more like where the 550y is) If you zero with 100m POI=POA, you will be a low at 300m, 400m, and 500m but dead on at 600m. In a hurry so I can't post any pics at the moment. HTH. |

Awesome, thanks. I'll stick with meters.
ETA: Elevation is generally between 300-400ft at my location. ETA2: I started playing with Ballistic AE and figured out I could play with the zero height, in addition to zero distance (I never realized this). It looks like a 1.5" high zero at 100m will give me the following drop: 100: 1.3moa 200: -0.53moa 300: -3.70moa 400: -7.69moa 500: -12.59moa 600: -18.63moa That matches up pretty well with Trijicon's numbers. |

Data on a 16" using 55 grain 5.56mm with 100 yard zero would really be really cool. I'm not greedy though...I'll take what I can get. http://s1266.photobucket.com/user/Sillyrandomname/media/IMG_20190719_132044_336_zpsrhln9udr.jpg.html http://s1266.photobucket.com/user/Sillyrandomname/media/PST-G2-1-6X24-VMR2-MOA_zpsohfqie5e.jpg.html View Quote |

Why are some of the pics filtered or fuzzy and say photo shop hosting, etc
Most are clear as a bell but others are fuzzy, not loading up? |

Incredible post!
How about some 10.5 inch data? |

Hey, I just noticed you are a fellow Hoosier.
Getting real specific I just built a 10.5 gun. Trijicon 2.5-12.5 accupoint mil dot in Warne 1.5 inch Ramp mount. Have 400 rounds of mk318 mod 0 coming. Was thinking 50 yard zero. Going to be my trunk/get home in case of boogaloo gun. A spec out to 300 yards would be awesome. |

@pezboytate are you able to do a ta31-ch shooting mk262 out of a 16" barrel and superimpose it over a standing silhouette (5'10 or 6')?

View Quote thanks brother, no rush! i was just curious since i felt like a whole human silhouette might be a better reference point for some folks than a shoulder width cutout. |

Thanks for the leg work. This will come in very handy!

How about a reference chart for:
Target size (mils) vs. Range Out to 1000 yards would be great! |
