Where to hold at 35yds 6.5creedmoor

[Mapper2020]

Question is.
Shooting 6.5 creedmoor 140 grain copper coated
Out of a 16-18” barrel.
Target is at 35 yards
Where should holes be appearing on paper 35yd out?

3-3.50” inches low gives you zero at 200yds.
I tend to think 3-3.5” HIGH at 35yds =zero@200yds.
Which is closer to correct? Thanks for your time!

up .9 mil

thats more in line with a 300 yard zero

both are wrong. zero at 100 and dial. this is 2020.

That is the type of yardage where sight height actually matters. What are you running bolt/semi and what are you trying to accomplish?

Edited to answer your question, neither are close to correct.

Confusing question, no single correct answer w/ given info, Impact will depend on numerous 'factors', go shoot it & then you'll know

I will add this, if you are running a semi auto platform with ~2" sight height, you'll be ~.75 low at 35 with a 100 yard zero and ~.25 low at 35 with a 200 yard zero. If you are running a bolt with say a 1.5" sight height the differences will be less exaggerated but you get the idea. You should not be 3" in either direction at 35 yards.

Using a bolt. Zero in at 200’yards using only a 35 yd target. Trying to see the trajectory from muzzle out to 500 yards.

What bullet or ammo are you using? With a bolt you will be closer to a quarter inch high at 35 to a 200 zero.

Or you can run inputs into JBM to your hearts content.

You need to input the correct bore to optic centerline offset into your ballistic calculator and it will tell you. If you don't have one use the free one from JBM Ballistics.

Why do you want other people to do your work for you?

Go figure this out on your own. You don't even need to go shoot.

I'm all for helping a guy who's stuck or has trouble understanding any aspect of this craft but they gotta have skin in the game. They have to show some basic understanding and some attempts at solving the problem when asking for help.

I don't know why anyone would help a douchebag like the op who comes in and says "just give me the answer, I'm not even going to put in any effort".

I know a guy just like that. I tried to help him learn how to reload but stopped helping when it became clear that he would text me with every single question he could think of instead of even trying to work it out. I eventually stopped answering the phone when it was him and he faded away.

I want to know what your shooting @35 yards.

Honestly who gives a fuck.....guy's just an askhole. He doesn't even bother providing all the information one would need to help.

Fuck him.

My guess is that the op is a new firearms owner who only has a 35 yard indoor range close by and the geniuses behind the counter told him he should be 3" high to be zeroed at 200 or something along those lines.
