[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Bullet drop?

Using any standard .223 55gr ammo what would be the POI/POA bullet drop at 100 yards if your iron sights were set at 25 yards?

Depends on velocity, altitude, barometric pressure, humidity, air temp, and probably a few other minor things I'm forgetting.

ETA: Also depends on the BC of the bullet, not all 55gr bullets are created equally.

Very funny. A ballpark would be fine....

Dont know if this will help but I have my AR sighted in right on at 100 yds. with a scope, 55gr bullets and it shoots 1 inch low at 25 yds.

Should be high. 25 yard impact loosely coresponds to a 300 yard zero. Perhaps 4 1/2 inches high..
