shottyscotty 3 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) if i was to zeroe my 243 at 150 metres and then was to shoot targets at 300 metres how much bullet drop would i get roughly as i dont have much experiance of 243 and what kind of range does everyone get out of there bullet before it drops ie stays flat to what distance. what i mean is with my 17hmr i dont have to give hold over between 30 meters and 110 because the bullet stays flat until then Edited May 15, 2009 by shottyscotty Quote Link to post
