Mister Gain 1,764 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Looking for a bit of advice from those that know. Hope this makes sense, and my apologies if it has already been asked or if it's a silly question. My dilemma is that I have a small garden, about 42 ft. I have zeroed my rifle at 30 yards at a mates place and whilst out at the permission, and spent a bit of time measuring the trajectory drop at 60 and 65 yards. Bearing in mind that the trajectory of my 22 pellet travels through the 'boresight' line (POI?) once on it's way to the 30 yard zero, is there a way to find the exact distance to the first intercept point so that I could zero it on that and still be spot on at 30 yards? Is it feasible/inadvisable or accurate enough? I have put a temporary kill zone in CGP at 0,10 inch, and it gives me 0.09 holdover at 10 yards, and at 11 yards 0.06 holdunder. So, pretty much spot on at 10 1/2 yards. Just thought it would save a bit of time at the permission. When I first got the gun (HW100 KS) I zeroed in my garden and when I went to my mates place and lasered 30 yards, it was bang on. Your views are appreciated. Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yes you are correct mate. You will have 2 zeros with your rifle. A established main zero (far) at say 30 yards (better at 27 ish yards in .22 at around 11.5 FPE) and a first intersect zero (near) at around 11 yards. You can zero your rifle at your near zero but your scope needs to be really set up well and the action level as it can be with your cross hairs or once you shoot out to 30 yards the pellet will fall left and right of your vertical post. A good way to sort this out in the field is to shoot at a distant target (40 yards plus) and slightly adjust your windage turrets so the pellet falls straight down your vertical post (job done).
