Questions about a round

[Bomber915]

My range is limited on distance. I am shooting a 6.5 creedmor 120 gr match grade at 100yrds at 2” high. Can anyone tell me my zero?

the sticker on the box has the factory drops

if your range is limited to 100 yards why not just zero at 100? The other way to do it is get a chrono and shoot 5 or 10 shots through it to get you muzzle velocity. Once you have that you can plug into a ballistics calculator and put in whatever zero you want to have then see what it tells you for your poi at 100 yards and then adjust at 100 until you are there.

Just playing around with strelok pro and not knowing elevation or any of those other fun factors, your zero should be close to 225 yards.

I think he means the shooting range has a max distance of 100 yards.

Yeah, I get that. I'm saying that if you only have a 100 yard range to shoot at why not zero at 100? A 100 yard zero means you are a couple inches low at 200 which doesn't mean much. If this guy is planning on shooting much further than that without being able to practice at those ranges.

227.9 yards

I don’t know, but I would recommend zeroing it at a known distance so at least you have, and know, that.

I hunt a land locked hay field and have about 200yds each direction to shoot so I was trying to get my zero there. I could shoot there but didn’t want to put pressure on my hunt. But thanks for your advice either way.

A 200 zero is +1.6 at 100, -.7 at 300.

Go hunt

You mean 7 inches at 300, not .7, right?

It is a 6.5 Creedmoor, so is probably just .7

Next year I would actually shoot at the distances you plan on hunting. Strongly recommended.

You can dial it in to 3" high at 100 yds and you'll be good to go from 100-300yds with a dead on hold. Yea, it's not the answer to your question, but this has worked for many a famous hunter for most hunting calibers for when you can't get to a shooting range with longer distances and what most of my rifles are sighted in for. Good luck.
