223 Ricochet - gophers

A-zone said:
Zero in for 200 yards. You'll hold a bit low closer in and a wee bit high on your farther shots. If your scope allows you to dial in, then zero for 100 and adjust your elevation as required.

This is what it's all about:

what did you use for the video ammo wise the shots are about the same noise leval as 22cb longs could hardly hear the shot
 
Sweet nice nugget of info. Last time I was shooting long range I was hitting a 8 inch gong at 300 m. (10 x scope) and zeroed at 25, I had to shoot low by 6-8 inches of my target, very wierd. but it worked.

I'll zero at 2 hundy.

those richardson ground insurgents wont stand a chance

thx

I have shot tons of 5.56 through C-9's including some belts with more trace than suggested ;).I have never seen a ricochet go anywhere other than up.If you look at what you are shooting at and think of two lines going up at a 45 degree angle from it,I'd hazard a guess that that is where 98% of any bounces would go.Now that's not to say that if you hit rock or something it won't make a right turn,but if you use varmint rounds there would be very little chance of a problem.
