Can anyone give me the bullet drops for a Aimpoint? I have a 18" Bushmaster barrel 1/9 on an M4 flat top receiver. My questions are where is the best place to "zero" in? 100? 200? or 300 yrd? Most all my shooting will be under 300yrd.  I can shoot 55 gr and or 69gr.  Is there an "optimal" bullet weight, etc? If I zero at 100yrd where will I be at  50, 200 or 300yrd ? Or if I zero at 200 where would I be with at the others?

What kind of accuracy should I expect from a stock set up like I have just described?  Thanks for your help. hug.gif

Basically, zero at 50 and you'll also be zeroed at 200 and the bullet will be within 2" (I think) of the line of sight out to 250-300yds.

Zero at 200m, past 300m aim a touch high and you'll still hit vitals. Its pretty hard to hit a silhouette at UKD 400m+ with an aimpoint, under simulated field conditions.
