Just like you said. 's blog. (629) 333-8117 If you really want to try it out, go sight in at 36 yards. I found that at a 10 yard zero, the point of impact is +2.5 inches at 50 yards and -2.7 inches at 100 yards. The 100 yard zero with a .223/5.56mm AR-15 carbine is a unique trajectory in that the bullet just âkissesâ the line of sight at 100 yards and rides along it for approximately 10 yards before dropping back down below the line of sight. By far my favorite zero for 5.56. Now I am sure they teach this in boot frank so maybe you should go back and re learn it, and hey while your there go ahead and pick up some common sense, and then defiinantly study up on your Corps values and learn to embrace them. contact@vigilanceelite.com Oh for f@#k’s sake: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics. Can you clarify the sizing, scaling and printer set up a little better? This post is to congradulate Nick in post 24 for correctly answering the original discussion from the rude and always right post from paul ( post 10 ) haha. All-Copper Handgun Bullets: Are They Worth It? I am Old Army, here is a quote for thought: “Swearing and verbal filth is not the mark of a soldier (or Marine?). I appreciate your assistance. Before pulling the trigger, get a precision level and see how far your barrel is aiming upwards, thus showing you that the round goes up because you are pointing the rifle up, but aiming your sights level. Since the bullet DOES start dropping immediately, the bore is actually pointed slightly upward relative to the line of aim. The battlesight zero as a concept is very useful to hunters as well. No. Even differences such as the scope you have mounted on your particular rifle will change the MPBR and subsequent zero. Will this also work for the 62 grain ammo? The over simplified example in the Marine manual is horribly worded and the illustration is even worse leading to this widespread misconception. Using this value, it is simple to calculate that the MPBR for a 180 grain Remington Core-Lokt .308 roundnose soft point cartridge in my trusty Remington 700 is 293 yards, with our second zero at 252 yards. Period. From a rest with factory ammo the best you are going to get group wise is 3-4" at 25 yards. Get notified when 9mm, .223 Rem., and Other Popular Calibers are in Stock & Ready to Ship. Do you think he made up all of those insults on his own or were they a cumulation of excerpts from his growing up in the Corp. If you take a look at the target you will see thick gray vertical and horizontal lines that intersect at a black circle. This is going to be where your point of aim is. Center your red dot here. If you look below that you will see thick black vertical and horizontal lines that intersect at another small yellow dot on the 0:0 axis point surrounded by a yellow faded dot. This is going to be where you want your bullet impacts to be. With this being said, your impacts will not hit where you are aiming. The bottom dot on the 0:0 axis is where the bullet would hit if you were aiming at a target 25 yards away with a 36yd zero which is approximately -.72â³ below your point of aim. The bullet is still rising to meet your point of aim at 36 yards, this is why the impact point is low on the target. The faded yellow circle around the black circle is there for variables such as sight to bore distance and bullet weight. I use .77 grain for a truer flight, more accuracy, and more knockdown power. Canât seem to get the scaling right. I am very please with some of you for understanding how I behave, and very disappointed with those of you who have used me and my friends for decades and still don’t understand us. That setting leaves me 2â³ high at 25 yds, 3â³high at 50 yds, back to 2â³ at 75 yds and zero at 100 yds. If you were shooting a thousand yards in a stiff cross-wind, you might miss by 1/4″ from the Magnus Effect and 4 feet from wind-induced drift. If that were always the case, then it would be impossible to hit a target at the same elevation. If the 26 yard zero theory is accurate to say within 6-8â then when I go to the range I can just pay for the 200 yard range and dial it in vs. paying for say the 100 then the 200. If this were to be setup precisely with no distractions to the round while carrying the 300 yard length, you would have a hole at the 36 target and 300 target to be fairly fairly close to the exact same elevation while the 150 yard target would be much higher. Hello everyone. I questioned the Basic Rifle Marksmanship instructor on this exact thing! shoot, that’s only common decency. I apologize, for I seem to have misunderstood your original comment. Such is the case with a battle rifle with a 300 yard zero. 25 yard zero has a spread of 10" and 50 yard zero has a spread of 9.5". It is the angle of the rifle when the rear sight is elevated(or scope) that would make it seem as if the bullet would have an upward trajectory. This is because the scope/sighting device and the rifle bore are not coincident. Works great on my 5.56. 8.5Ã11? First the angle of the line of sight from which you are aiming via iron sights or scope, and the angle of the barrel itself. Frank Proctor uses a 50 Zero at 10 yards, check it out! Easy peasy homes ! Though i believe he is right when he says that the trajectory will not rise above the angle that it is fired from because of gravity, he will not understand until someone explains that there are two angles to consider. With our rifle zeroed for these distances, we can be assured that a perfectly centered aim on a deer at any distance between 0 and nearly 300 yards will result in a hit in the vital area of our target. Of course, the angle between line of sight and bullet trajectory would need to be exaggerated in order to show up in an illustration this small. Read Thomas Sowell. Learn to read and find out why a bullet does rise. Discounting a very small amount of spin induced lift, gravitational anomalies, and possibly weather related input; a bullet will not rise of it’s own accord. That’s why the bullet is launched—like a ball is thrown— at an upward angle. So without swearing I have agreed with Frank to explain how some people just don’t get the point with politeness because they make their half-assed opinions their religion. I have never been in the military, but now am thinking that i should have signed up just to teach some of these hard headed leathernecks a thing or two about the first thing you should learn as a leatherneck…joking. So, why were you trying to school me and also tell me to go relearn. The 36 Yard Zero Feb 23, 2018; Filed under 36 yd Zero, carbine target, rifle zero, sighting in target, Target, Vigilance Elite 36 yard zero, Vigilance Elite target, zero target; Discussion 161 comments The illustration is confusing (and pretty lame, to be that confusing – I blame the art department.). You guys must have slept throught physics 101. yes, both gravity and friction act on a bullet and will cause it to fall, which is why a bullet drops. If only a portion of the target is visible (e.g., the head of an enemy soldier), the trajectory of the bullet may have to be taken into consideration when firing at a distance other than 300 yards/meters. All zeroed in at 36 yards! i am so satisfacted.my english is poor, sorry :). Thus, a 25/300 meter or 36/300 yard zero may meet your requirement. check it out!For more information go to www.triggertimetv.com Hi, is there another save method to print the target? Yes, gravity does have an immediate effect, which is not (as in the example of the baseball) to make it fall as soon as it leave the barrel, but to *decrease* its upward velocity. When scaled to 100% the target is much larger than an 8.5Ã11â³ piece of paper. function() { please disregard request; used IE browser instead of Firefox, and image saved as a .PNG file. You will still need to confirm and refine your BZO at those appropriate distances. Any help appreciated, thanks But this will degrade in to a P…..g match, so you sight in your guns your way and I will soldier on with my imperfect understanding of this universe. Inquiring minds want to know. Learn them or they will cause regret. 225 yards equals 205 meters or 200 meters. I did maximize to 100% but squares seem small. How about you relearn this: F@#k you. I hope that helps. The sight line should be shown as level, not the gun. .hide-if-no-js { But because the barrel is not level with the ground but angled upward relative to the line of sight, the bullet rises IN RELATION TO THE GROUND ONLY before arcing back to earth. Although I did a boatload of “remedial” exercises that afternoon, I never changed my argument. Was wondering how this works with .308 I just picked up a Vortex Strike Eagle for my AR10. Bullet don’t “rise”, they are deliberately lobbed above the line of sight. I tried saving it in a few different formats but no luck. At 25 yards, groups are .7â inches high above center of target, just under 3/4", w/ rear sight set on â2â- so a 200 meter battle zero is a little better. timeout If the illustration showed the rifle angled so that the barrel pointed along the initial bullet trajectory, this argument would all go away. If youâre going to zero at 10 yards, then confirm your zero if possible. What does change is the trajectory of the individual bullet/cartridge. Read the part about the Magnus effect. I was in Basic in October 1979, being forced to do what seemed liked countless pushups, flutterkicks, and several other excercises I can’t even remember. })(120000); At other distances, the strike of the bullet will be less than 7 1/2 inches above the point of aim. And then it will be back within 2.5" back just over 200. It's , talk me out of a 36 yard zero. Note to readers: Please click the share buttons above or below. Well…I guess I better hold off a while on the Ginger or Maryann debate!! − (Don’t worry about the sights, they are irrelavant for this experiment) When you throw a baseball (good buddy of mine) from center field to home plate do you throw it in a straight line or do you lob it up slightly to get more range out of your throw? a bullet will rise with enough force pushing it foward thats why jet boats or cars going fast enough will fly if going fast enough. I printed off one of your 36 yard targets. Maybe I’m stating the obvious for some, but I know that what else I was taught in this great gun club I am proud to be a part of, is that sometimes you just have to make it Barney style for some. thx for approving my user greetings wally. Once again referring us to Wikipedia is not an effective argument. The information provided here does not represent the views of Cheaper Than Dirt! Where I impact a target is more a matter of your perspective (line of sight) than magic rotational effects. But to be accurate, you need to shoot at 300 yards to verify your zero. Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window), Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window), Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window). The commenters are all correct, in their own frame of reference. A 50 yard zero will put your point of impact at 100 yards about 4" high. Yes, the Magnus Effect probably has some effect on a bullet in flight. I created a 25 yard adjusted zero target for the 36 yard zero based off of a specific set of specs. The majority of our clients use some type of red dot holographic sight whether it be EoTech, Aimpoint, Trijicon, or Vortex optics. All of these sights sit approximately 2.5 inches above the bore of an AR-15 rifle. Most of our shooters are also using basic 5.56/.223 55 grain FMJ for their range ammo, which is also what they zero their rifle with. I figured somewhere there would be a 36 yard zero target for the 25 yard line but there was nothing. They have 25, 50, and 100yds but no 36. So I put the time in, gathered as much info as I could as far as what shooters are using when it comes to optics and ammo, and I calculated where the bullet would impact at the 25 yard line with a 36 yard zero and made a target out of it. This zero technique is based on the fact that the bore and sight line (whether scope or iron sites) intersect downrange. If a Marine does not consider trajectory, he may shoot over the top of the target if the target is small and at a distance other than 300 yards/meters.
