hi just wondering if any one can help i am wanting to know the rough trajectory of the 243 is it similar to 22.250 or is it flatter just would like to know this for zeroing purposes cheers

it would depends on what bullet you are going to use if you go for a light wait say 55gr then it,s not much in it, but im sure theirs same one on here knows alot more on billistics than me ,. igot a 6mm (243) and that does around 3800fps with the 55gr and i havent got 2250. but the book say,s about 3600 to 3700. for this so not alot in it .

hope this helps

Depends on alot of factors mate, bullet weight, style, bc, velocity,

 

It doesn't matter anyway as if your not sure set up a target at 50 yards to get you on the board and when your happy move it out to 100 yards, This is just my prefered zero...

 

take your time setting your scope up so the crosshairs are alligned both vertical and horizontal....

 

good luck...

as the above said its all about witch round you use and what the gun shoots better i used rws 100grn soft points the recomended zero is 212 yards i found this a perfect round and great on foxes out to 350 yards with no wind, but dont try that distance until your sure you can get a clean kill
