What’s the difference between average range and long range

baserigger · Nov 21, 2024

Hi guys,
Fed Ex dropped off a bunch of 308 Gold Match on my doorstep yesterday…… (first time purchasing nice ammo), but after reading the specs on the back, I’m kinda confused (or lost as the wife unit puts it) about one of the ballistic specs written on the back.
Can someone please explain to me what’s the difference between “Average Range” and “Long Range”? I’m assuming it’s bullet drop, but why are there two different numbers.
Thanks a bunch in advance

They're showing trajectory differences between 100 and 200 yd zeros. Fudd marketing.

I believe they'er just giving two sets of drop if you zero at 100 or 200 yards. Regardless, you'll need to verify for your conditions (atmospherics, altitude), barrel length, twist, etc. Looks like marketing fluff, IMO.

The box is using a variation of "ø" etc for the zero distance

If you plan on shooting “long range” which is a different distance for each caliber, the recommended zero is 200yds.

Stick with the 100yd zero.

Long range is any distance I can’t shoot at.

Average range is any distance my brother can’t shoot at.
