"With that load, to be 12 inches high at 100 yards, you would be need to sight in to be aprox. 2.111 inches high at 25 yards.
According to my calculator, zrex.. is right.
The set up is with the center of the scope 1.5 inches above the barrel.
Think about it. In the scant distance of 25 yards the bullet traveling at 2808 fps is going from -1.5 inches low to about 2 inches high."
How does that make him right and where do you get a -1.5" until the bullet is way out there past it's peak and starts dropping? What is that - 1.5" in reference to? See my post above and look at the chart in that link I provided. From what you have posted it would appear to support exactly what I and a number of others have stated. The bullet may start out 1.5" below the level of the scope as it leaves the muzzle if that's what you're talking about, but it appears your post is exactly what I stated. It shows you have to be over 1/2" high at 25 yards to hit about 6" high at 100 and he's saying his gun was on zero at 25 yards and it resulted in him being 12" high at 100 yards. Therefore, he claims he had to be at a negative number at 25 yards to be zeroed at 100 yards. I still say no way and it appears your ballistics calculations show that! Please, what am I missing here when you have then stated that to be 12" high at 100 you would have to be over 2" high at 25, not a - figure like he stated?
