What is the velocity? What bullet type, FB or BT? What is the B.C.? There some difference, even with different projectiles of the same weight. So many variables, so little info.

It is BT and the velocity is 3240 at the muzzle.

A quick answer is about 88" with a 100 yard 0. To 0 for 600 you should set POA/POI at about 15" high at 100 yards. I could cut in finer, but that should get you in the ballpark. But, running a different brand bullet, same weight, lower B.C., you may have to go 20" over at 100.

M15A2: Check this link out, I believe your drop will be around 34" @ 600. Plug in your own numbers and check it for free. |

Wilson,
Go back to that site and plug it in yourself. Use a B.C. between .207 and .275. Now, go for 600 yards as your 0. When the graph comes up, look at the trajectory (bullet height) at 100 yards. LR trajectory for a 55 grain .224 projectile sucks. That's why for LR competition they use 69 grain and heavier projectiles. Even though the velocities are much lower, the high B.C.s more than make up for it. 34" drop at 600 yards from line of sight could not be had if that 55 grainer was going 4000fps. |

With bc=.269, v=3,240 and zero=50 yards, I caluclate drop of 77.1" at 600 yards.
If you went with a 30 yard zero, the bullet would drop 59.2" at 600 yards. |

I got -86.29" and -76.41" with those 0s and that data, respectively.
