I shoot a Marlin 917vr .17 hmr. The club I'm a member of has 25, 50, 100, 200, and 300 yard targets. I know that in order to go from 50 to 100 yards I have to climb 20 clicks. But I know the trajectory of a .17 hmr drops pretty fast after 100 yards. Anyone know about how many clicks I'll need to climb to go from 100 to 200 yards? Anyone else have a .17 hmr firing at this distance? I'm looking to not waste a lot of ammo and to find my mark asap.
