Visual ballistics calculator?

[evanilily37]

I’m new to all this and I’m having a hell of a time figuring some of it out.
Is there a visual calculator where I can see my ballistics and where it intersects my sight plain?
My goal is to sight in my deer rifle at an efficient enough distance to hit anything that walks within 500 yards. I know some think that’s not an ethical distance, and I doubt I would take that shot, but this is my >500yrd gun and my intro into longer distance.
Do it sight in for a zero at 275? 100? There’s a lot of questions and most of them I don’t even know how/what to ask.
I have a Tikka T3x stainless sitting under a Vortex Viper HS LR 4-16-50. I’m using Federal Fusion 165gr .308
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! https://9apps.ooo/

Most calculators have graphs and charts included,

But this is an entire ballistic calculator on one page

And to try to understand how to use those charts, might want to begin here

Always zero at 100. Gather your dope and just dial the distance you need.

Yeah, and I can't see any sort of zero or other body English that would allow him to shoot point blank over a 500 yd range.

I zero'd my deer rifle at 200 and figure I'm good for anything shorter and I'd be about 4" low at 250 so either dial up .4 mils or just hold over. At 300, I'm down 9" or so and that's outside of minute of deer. I do understand some of the arguments for 100 yd zero, but for whitetail where I can hunt, the 200 yds zero seems to work.

This dope is from 4DOF and MV from my Labradar. I validated it at 200 and 300 yds but haven't had a chance to validate the dope any further....but for me, 300 yds is about as far as I'm shooting at a deer, I believe.

I don't see anyway the OP can achieve his objective of killing an animal over a 0-500 yard range with just his zero and no hold over or dial up.

trying to play PBR is silly

just dope it, dial it and or hold it, and don't swag it

building a proper range card, adding it to your rifle and determining the proper range is gonna yield better results than trying to eyeball it

distance gives you time and opportunity, take the time and opportunity afforded to do it right
