Finding YOUR Zero - shot by shot

[Troy Bakel]

Thank you. You have supported my contention the Ammo companies have a misleading picture on their ammo boxes. Which support the thought many long time hunters and casual shooter be live, that in normal firing the bullet goes up before it comes down. You could be a great lawyer with your explanation, lol. I said the bullet is falling due to gravity upon exiting the barrel. I will stand by that. I did not bring line of sight into it. Your twisting words to argue . So we disagree.

I apologize, apparently we are not on the same thread.

Your post #27 (on this thread) states: "it's just where the bullet intersects the line of sight".

You do NOT mention, refer to, or use the word "gravity" in your posts (on this thread) #27 or #38 to which I was referring to with my clarification of fact.

Would you be so kind as to refer me to the correct thread?

Great place to ask this question. You ever have dope where the further out it drops and then comes back up and then drops again lol? Like a roller coaster?
Say
25y is 1.0
30y is 1.3
35 is 1.6
40 is 1.9
45 is 1.3
50 is 1.9
55 is 2.4

I know the answer but ive seen several people with dope like this.

I wonder this morning if this phenomenon could also have to do with barrel torque and scope height???

If we study my chart some we can see my initial trajectory apex is probably right around 23 yards; but extends to approximately 32 yards. I could rezero the scope to the middle of the apex say 26/27 yards and reshoot, to minimize holdovers but in my case it’s not that critical since I have hard holdover values I have validated.
Good fun when you are kinda snowed in.
