Just seeing where everyone sights in there Texan457 CF. I'm thinking about zeroing in at 100 yd and just adjusting for everything under. What does everyone think?
Airforce Texan.457 sight in distance
- Thread starter Poke-E
- Start date
I have mine zero inbetween 50 an 100 so i hold under a bit at 50. And over a bit at 100. But I'm curious as well I'd like to put more time into it.

Hmmm, that doesn't sound like to bad of an idea. That way your hold over/under is about even... Thanks!!

Personally I have found 75 yards to be perfect for the 45 caliber. With a ffp scope I had a 4 moa holdunder at 50 and a 4moa holdover at 100 .
i have a carbine and it shoots a little slower (850fps)
I sight mine in for 50 yards, 11 inches drop at 100yards.

i think you need a ballistics app
.. unless your target is very specific, youll want an ideal zero that holds it within 1/2" or so for the longest stretch ..typically for airgun velocities and average scope heights its around 20 yds .. will hold it close to dead on to 50-60 and everything outside 20 is varying degrees of holdover .. at 100 it may be 15 some odd inches/3-4 hashes on your ret depending on velocity ..the app will show you graphically .. alittle testing and youll know right where your at, at any reasonable distance without wonky bullcrap in the middle ..if you zero at 100 and have a random shot at 30 youll likely blow it ...

I have my Texan Sighted in at 25 yards and it's still the same at 50 yards, I need to get back to the range to find where I'm at 75 and 100 yards.

I'm zeroed at 100.... and running an Ivey Adj. scope base for ELR......and like some have mentioned, Ballistic apps are extremely helpful, but I've also created a cheat sheet in my notebook,... after Regulated bench testing of your magic pill from 25/30 to 100..., and Just take that info on a laminated index card on your hunts or to the range and play around with your tuning....it should keep you in the neighborhood of consistent holdover an under taking shots..

I have my .30 Wolverine setup this way. Works great at the range. After this discussion, I need to check my zero at 25 now.
