Chap

Just checked my bc list.. Dave is correct .210 - That will make it about 1 inch higher @ 100... - I'll run a sheet right now... Changes the "point blank range" from 153 yards to 150 yards....

Well thanks for the sheet. I am already sighted in at 100yrds not 150 yards. I don't understand how to adjust the chart. I looked at all three charts and now I am more confused than ever. lol I'll just make sure I'm set up for my shots to be between 50-100yrds. I guess then I'll know it is going to hit where I aim. The reason I sighted in at 100yards is because that's the longest distance there is at the only range near where I live. And Isure didn't want to siit in less than that.I figured someone might have an Omega they have sighted at 100 yards. I have a rangefinder si if the shot is over a 100 (doubtful) I'll just hold over 3 or soinches. if it's less than 50 i'll hold under a couple inches. Thanks.

I re-ran the 100 yard chart with the correct BC....

So if you are sighted dead on @ 100

Then the approximate numbers are (assuming you are using a scope)

25 yds... .05 inches low
50 yds... .73 inches high
75 yds... .77 inches high
100 yds... 0.00 inches
125 yds... 1.64 inches low
150 yds... 4.25 inches low

So yes there is a 4" window

Do you want ballistic sheet on it... I have the corrected one laying on my desk now?

Don't go to all that trouble tying to over hold, under hold, justaim and shoot up to 150 yards and you will be gold. If you get to the range,you can go up 10 clicks up, you will be sighted in about 2.5" high at 100 and you will be within 3" out to 175 yards, that is called MPBR (Maximum Point Blank Range), I have heard it called " 3 over method" and is how I learned to sight in.

Thanks for sending me the ballistics sheet. I have copied and saved all the info you gave me. I am now good to go. That is exactly what I needed.

I appreciate it!
