Make sure your scope height is as close as possible when getting this data. I have a specific data sheet I carry with each rifle with my others that goes from 1-20 yards. Doesn't matter what ammo I use at those ranges as it has more to do with scope height. I run the numbers on JBM and they work.
There's another thread on sight/scope height in the optics section right now.
However for practical purposes from 50-100 it doesn't vary much at all.
I have a table in Ballistic FTE that is broken down by 5 yard increments for close range KYL type stages. For real life type stuff I just know that under 50 yards I need to favor high for a t-box shot.
We do a lot of close range work with the M4's so it gets to be second nature.
This is a Canadian Bull. It was used to zero M14s and M16s. Set it out at 25 meters, aim at the bull and the impact (for the M14 should hit the bottom X. That will give you a 250 meter zero. Aim and the bull, hit the bull and you are zeroed for 25 Meters.
I think if you sight your gun in for 25 meters, you can pretty much hit anying from 5-25 meters. Same Same, sight it in for 250 meters you will be pretty close between 5 & 25 meters.
It goes down to 1-yard increments, but like others said make sure your scope height data is as close to reality as possible and that your zero is dead nutz.
Do many people actually shoot their .308's under 25' from the target? Not trying to be smart, just always figured you point and shoot at that distance.
whats up bottles! Rob is right on the money with scope height. scope height is key for this one be sure to carefully measure from the center of scope to center of barrel/chamber if you want those ballistic programs to work for close dope. you making the bash this year?
zjones... its a competition shot, usually a 1" dot at 5 or 10 yds. i guess it used to trip people up in the past but it seems everyone nails this one now.
we shoot a stage like this at Reade every year, off a ladder, down the burm, maybe 10-15 yards. I use my 600 yard dope, and am usually pretty close (shooting a 1" paster).
