best zero range

[jocky 198]

hi all, what is the best range to zero my air arms 410 in 177 and 22. using air arms field pellets.

[19powell90 89]

30m for .177 and i think it is 25m for .22 but dont quote me as i do not shoot .22 calibre atm.

If your rifle is doing around 11.5 foot pounds the answers are as follows:

 

.177 = 33.4 metres (37 yards) this gives you a PBR from 8.2 to 37.6 metres (8.9 to 41 yards).

 

.22 = 25.6 metres (28 yards) this gives you a PBR from 6.2 to 29 metres (6.8 to 31.7 yards).

 

For easy remembering use .177, 30 metres and .22, 25 metres these give you a

 

PBR of

 

.177 = 8.8 to 35 metres (9.7 to 38.3 yards)

 

.22 = 6.3 to 28.5 metres (6.9 to 31.1 yards)

 

If you zero at 30 metres with a .22 sub 12 at 11.5 foot pounds - ish you run the risk of being out your kill zone from 11.5 metres to 25.5 metres not ideal, especially at night as you will find that most of your shots will go over the top of the rabbits / rats due to your pellets parabolic trajectory leaving the 2.5cm kill zone.

 

I used to also use 30 metres in .22 but now have alot better results at 25 metres.

Will have to try re-zeroing at 25m and let you know how I get on Si, at the moment trying to get the lead count through the .177 up...
