brain fart question

[ryan robert]

ok, ive got my 308 zero in at 200 yards using 180 grain winchester xp3 ammo and can hit a clay pigeon at that range all day consistintly , what can i expect for drop beyond 200 yards, the range i was shooting at only has a 200 yard max, it sucks i know but eh what ya going to do!
As well if shooting at 100 yards i would have to aim a little higher but not much correct?
Dont crap all over me on this question guys

With a 200 yd zero, you would be about 2" high at 100, and near 8-9" low at 300 yds.

If shooting 300 or closer, just hold on hair and don't worry about the trajectory...

Thanks blargon, i just couldnt think and didnt have time to find somewhere to shoot over 200 yrds!

Here is a fun site to help you answer the question you asked.
Norma Ammunition has a neat little program on their website that will help give you a pretty good approximation of bullet trajectory.

Here is the link to the website.
click on Ballistic in the top right corner of the page and have some fun.

pbr ( point blank range) for the 308/180 is 267 yards- a 100 yard zero is 5.4 low at 300- pbr is defined as zero plus or minus 6 inches re flight path of bullet- that's from the speer manual-assuming a mv of 2600 fps- the winchester stuff is 2660- a 200 yd zero is 4.5 low at 100 and 6.2 high at 300- a 300 gives 16.1 low at 100, and 10.2 low at 200
