| heres my problem... i zero my personal weapons(ar15's) at 50 yds. and get a pretty flat trajectory out to 220 yds or so but i then i have to zero my duty M4 on the normal 25m, 300m army battle sight zero. now i know the correct hold over(or under) for the 300m bsz for human sized targets out to 300m. my question is how much hold over on the 50yds ibz do i have to do in order to engage targets out to 300m (and beyond)? FYI i have a 16in. barrel 1-9 twist and i use lake city m855 and my rear sight is a arms #40 (or A1 type) |

Well, using the 50yd IBSZ (which I happen to like) at 220 yds the bullet has already begun it's downward trek and is @ 2" below line of sight. A quick glance at a reloading manual shows you'd be @ 8" below line of sight at 300yds (6" more than you were at 220yds). So a holdover of 8" SHOULD smack it dead center at 300. This where a ballistics calculator comes in handy. You can work up holdovers/unders for any caliber, barrel length, height above bore, etc. HTH |
| I thought you had to turn the elevation to compensate for distances at 300m, 400m, 500m, 600m, etc? The whole point of the IBZ was to get a flat trajectory out to 200m using the small aperture, nose to charging handle, wheel bottomed out, and then turn the wheel 2 or 4 clicks up to the 8/3 or 6/3 mark respectively for 300m targets. It's not a perfect zero but should be minute of person. |
exactly you shoot 0-200 with your sight bottomed out -2/-4 (unless you using the big aperture) when you start getting into ranges like 300/400 etc you click to the various elevations simple |
OK, so what adjustments do you make if you flip to the big aperature? |
I think the poster above answered your question with - 8 inches - No adjustments necessary, nor possible with your Arms 40 www.norma.cc/htm_files/javapagee.htm That's a good calculator, just define the bullet your using. |
