My iron sights are zeroed at 50 yards with IBZ and when I get an Eotech it will be zeroed at 50 yards as well. My question is will it hit higher or lower at 25 yards and under?  I would also like to know how much higher/lower it will be.

I am shooting XM193.

Thanks

I can't belive no one knows this.

As long as any sight is located on tope of the bore, it shoot low.  In your case from 49.9' to the muzzel.

It will shoot high from 50.1 to the point at which the line of sight and the bullet trajectory come together for the last time.

At 25 yds. the POI will be lower, rougly it will be 1" low from the point of aim. Depends on how high your EOTech is mounted from the bore, the POI at 25 yds will be different than iron sight, but not significantly enough to make any difference in a practical sense.

All you have to do is measure the heighth above bore center line and it will be a direct linear adjustment at 50 yards and under; ie at 25 yards it will be half the site over bore distance, at point blank it will be the total.

Use [url=http://www.norma.cc/htm_files/javapagee.htm]this[/url].

You can use it for any caliber.  For .223 you will  have to create your own bullet and set the parameters for it but it's fairly easy to get all the info that is required.

From what I could find online the ballistic coefficient for a 55gr FMJ .223 round is .272.  Start with this and go from there.  Good luck.

Of course we know this.  You just gotta ask in the right forum [;)]

Seriously from 0-49.9y the round will be a bit low, from 50.1-219.9y the round will be a bit high.  At 50y & 220y the round will be dead on.
