Short Question Bout Zero


Recommended Posts

I think I just need clarification but I could be wrong.

My garden is about 24yds long

Win subs @ 1065MV with a BC of 0.138.

If I zero at 22yds, is it the same as zeroing at 50yds?

According to Chairgun that's the two points of impact unless I've ballsed it up.

Of course Rod.

Actually went out to do it yesterday but other stuff got in the way and ended up losing the light and I'm not sure if my sidewinder is playing up or not so want to get it as good as I can before I go again.

You need to get out and zero at 50 yards (or wherever you want), then go back to your garden (or wherever) and check/note the first zero point.

 

That is the only way to do it accurately, all the ballistic tables are simply guides, some are better than others, but none can do what your specific gun can. They commonly take no account of barrel condition/length/cleanliness/moderator/scope size/mount height/etc.

I wouldn't be shooting a 22lr in your garden if it's only 24yards long. You got an open ticket?

 

 

Don't think my neighbours would take kindly to me shooting my rimfire in the back garden either and mines out in the sticks lol.

Plus being a closed ticket I'm sure I would be breaching the license that way lol

 

 

The law has to be followed carefully in these situations, and even forgetting the law, common sense has to be employed! :thumbs:

 

I deal with a lot of foxes in pocket handkerchief back gardens, often much less than 24 yards, neighbours will next to never hear a .22lr moderated sub, but I also use HMR, and very occasionally WMR in these situations as well, a one off crack is also usually dismissed or simply not heard.

 

That of course is not a zeroing session, which will commonly involve several cracks!

 

ATB! :thumbs:

but you have a open ticket and you are trusted to make the right choice and not in the situation where you have JUST been granted a fac and should watch what he posts. Atb Roy
