OK next stupid question, is there an easy way to obtain multiple zero's other than shooting at those distances and doing the hard work. I'm pretty much spot on at 100 yards, just looking at getting on the paper at say 200, 300, 400 and 500 yards. Scope is Leupold Mark 4. Any help gratefully appreciated. |
Better still...go find a range where you can shoot at the ranges you need and find out how your load performs. It really is worth the time and gives you confidence in your shooting when you know how your rifle and load is going to perfom. All the best shooters will tell you that.  Anything else really is guesswork at best.  Where do you live? Do you have a range locally with the distances you need? |

I live in Cheshire, nearest range with all the distances would be either Sealand or possibly Diggle, only problem is that as far as I am aware I cannot just turn up and try to get zero at various ranges, unless you know something I don't. My other option is to have a day out at Bisley and use their facilities. |

You might find that it's a better idea to get your starting zero at 200yds rather than 100. The reason being that at 100, the curve of the trajectory that intersects with your sight line is relatively flat ie: although you may be hitting the target where you're aiming, you could infact be zero'd for only 65yds or even 110! This has a huge knock on effect if you're trying to extrapolate your settings for other distances: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c343/UKMuppet/GRAPH.jpg If you zero at 200yds there is no doubt about where you are set: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c343/UKMuppet/GRAPH2.jpg I hope this is of some help. |
