So I have a load of 95 grns. and the 240 grn XTP seems to be working pretty good at 50 yards. When I go out to 100 it climbs, I was perplexed then remembered seeing ballistics charts where at closer distances the trajectory is listed as a negative ie.. -2.1 inches I pressume meaning the bullet actually climbs which is what I think my 240 XTP's are doing. I'd like to be flat out to 100, what do I do? Go up to a 300? I really don't want to go down in powder, I wanna keep the velocity up there.
Do you have see through mounts on your scope? If so, your sight height is on the order of 2.25 inches. If so you'll be 2 3/4" high at 100 if you sight 2" high at 50. Take a ruler and measure the distance from bore center to the center of scope and use that number in the sight height field when running the ballistics program. Maybe that'll help?
