Zero range .223

[Rifleman88 28]

Just bought my first .223(browning A bolt), what range should I be looking at zeroing it using Winchester cxp1 55g?

Cheers lads Nathan.

200 yards, then use a ballistic calculator to get your +/- at 100,300,400.

Same as above but check your bullet +/- physically as well by placing targets at the ranges mentioned above as l found ballistic calculators aren't always exact

You zero at a distance that most suits your land/quarry/ability!

 

With a .223 this would usually be between 100-200 yards for field work!

 

Physically check other distances by shooting after zeroing!

i agree, mines zeroed at 100yard as thats where most of my shooting is at, and just work out the drop at the longer ranges.

You want 25mm/1 inch high at 100 meter/yard. This will give you 3" group to 250 metre /yard with good 55gr ammunition.
