Stuck on Quick Drop

[HuntHarder]

Like long range lead said there is almost always a good gun/ bad gun factor.. if you post or send your ballistic profile we can help you with that. My .223 is a “bad” gun and has a correction factor of +.3..

So essentially range -2, +/- .3 (either 1.7 or 2.3) depending which side of bad your gun is on, for your .223? This holds true and is linear out to say 700 yards?

With faster cartridges I have found running a 200 yard zero and memorizing the holds for 300,400,500 is easier. Then use your QD for ranges 600-800 where the bullet has slowed down enough that its trajectory lines up for a QD solution.

It’s essentially-2 for an average gun.. the +.3 was an example as i have a 16” barrel on my 223 and with practice ammo fairly poor speeds. This is much easier to explain on words (for me) if you would like help pm me and I’ll send you my number.. once you see it you “got it”.: back to Ryan’s question for my fast 6mm is was close enough to use quick drop but i backed off speed just a little and it works perfectly out past 700. Next barrel will be shorter to accomplish this without having to back off powder charges..

I've shot a few NRL Hunter matches and having a combo that works for quick drop is so much faster than having to look at a dope card. I can definitely see the value in slowing a cartridge down to accommodate easy mental math. My 6mms don't line up very well but would probably be close enough if I used "average gun" to around 400yds and "good gun" for further distance if I was in a hurry.
