Default Omega trajectory ?

If I have my Omega scope on my Omega zeroed at 100 yards, what is my 50 yard impact?

Have you tried shooting it at 50 yards to find out.

Sorry guys brain fart.. I shot it at 50 to get on paper, and then zeroed 100. I am using 150gr 777, and 250 r shockwave I know 50 will be lower but just curious how much?

I guess i am assuming 150 grains of pellet power? Which would be some where in the neighborhood of 120 grains of T7-2f....

Shooting a 250 grain SST/SW... use this as a referrence point only... You will need to shoot it to be sure....



This chart is computed using a what is called 'point blank' range. I told the computer that i wanted a trajectory that was never more than 3" low or 3" high - what is the maximum zero range? This is what was computer put out.

Okay, then I can guess a 100yd zero will have you about 3/4" high at 50 w/ my calculator.

Sighting in 4" high at 100 should put you around 4" low at 200, less than 3" high at 50--assuming a scoped rifle.

SL, I use the Point Blank calculator. I used 1900 for velocity and .210 for BC and 1.5" sight height-- if anybody cares
