Andy H Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 100 or 125 yds and note the variation in poi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffygun Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) 1" high @ 100yds this will give you Zero @ 175yds 2nd Zero @ 40yds +/- 1" from 15yds - 200 yds 4" drop @ 250yds 9" drop @ 300yds So pretty much aim straight at it out to 200yds :blink: Edited September 19, 2009 by taffygun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Taffy gun, you got a link to an idiot proof ballistic graph / webby with the calculators on it? I had one somewhere but can't find it now - I have a very cluttered desktop and favorites folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Quick question, how do you "in put" a new bullet - the default is a Winchester .270 and I can't shift that. It needs a nice big drop down menu or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saker Clive Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) You've down loaded it programe I take it :blink: click on Load Info (top left), then click on New Load (bottom 2nd in) a blank detailed page opens so you can input all the relevant info.

George1990 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Ballistic co-efficient means...? Edited September 20, 2009 by George1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saker Clive Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Ballistic co-efficient means...? Basically it's how aerodynamic the bullet is. If you go to the manufacurers website, it should state to co-efficiency of it's rounds. A Hollow Point is going to have more drag than a ballistic tipped round.

Shootingman Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Another quick question, I cannot change & save the target distance, whatever distance I enter it will always revert back to the default distance of 250yds. Otherwise I find it a great bit of software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 hi all was curious to know what range to zero a .222 rem at using 50 grain bullets 1-1/2" high @100yds, but I am using homeloads and will be doing a load of paper punching to see what she can do @ much longer ranges.

Yes M8 here http://www.norma.cc/javapage_US2.asp?Lang=2 You can click on define your own bullet and enter weight and BC (if you know it) problem is it only goes up to 600yds but when hunting not many of us go that far :blink: Edited September 20, 2009 by taffygun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I find it a great bit of software. I think it's a default setting on the 250 yards. You can save your 'loads' but you will still need to input the target distance. Once you input the info. for a particular load hit Save to Text and it will store that load for you. You then call it up by going to Open Load......................................
