[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 100m zero using a 25m range

Posted: 9/12/2012 9:37:24 AM EDT

BLUF- w/ 5.56mm 55gr M193 ammo/ 11.5" barrel CAR-15/ carry handle open sights-

Without going into long mathematical discussion about bullet coefficients, powders, sniping techniques and other technical ballistic discussions-

––-Where should the round impact @ 25m to give me a "rough" 100m zero?––-
1.5" low?
5" low?
3" low?
etc

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Gentlemen, you are the best. Thank you.

I must not be living right. Did a google search and search here and all I could find were posts that were worthy of a PhD in nuclear physics.

I was more confused at the end than when I started.

I don't know why those targets are hidden away in the FAQ of that forum.
They should be stickied at the top of every page.

Agreed. As a newbie, I found them to be an excellent resource. Just what I was looking for. Sure glad I opened this thread.
