[Dumpy]

I just purchased a ruger american in 6.5 Creedmoor and I was wondering if anyone had any dope charts or holds already? 22in barrel

Thanks boss. How's yours performing for you? I'm an entry level long range shooter so I'm just trying to learn a thing or two.

Download one of the free ballistic calculator apps and use that as a starting point (I use Hornady 4DOF). Start there, shoot the rifle at various distances, and develop your own specific dope for your rifle and ammo. Every setup is different.

You might first want to learn what ammos you will be using because without that at least there is no answer to your initial question. My first response was a joke.

No one will be able to feed you accurate trajectories without you first supplying all of the necessary info: your rifle (sight height, twist), your bullet (length, bc, velocity) or the outside world (temp, pressure humidity). There is no one answer to your question.

Since you will likely have none of that info you can try and work your way out to distance with the weaponized math system that takes prior known info and applies a factor to try and let you time the bullets fall to gravity so you at least have some good assumptions of where to go based on where you hit previously.

It may not get you centered up on target but it should at least get you on the berm enough to see your misses to make a small corrections instead of blindly hoping.

Thank you. I should have included I'm gonna take out four or five different ammo types and see which one I can get the best groups with at 100. I was just looking at some bare bones starting points so I'm not just throwing money into the wind.
