That bullet should still be super sonic at 200 yards?? It would be a pretty stupid thing to put your hand out and try to catch it. You would come back with a hand that has a pass through hole in it!!

For velocity of around 1800 to 1900 fps the easiest way is to put your drop into terms of 100 yardes. That is why I like my new CDS dial for my Knight LRH.

Basically for a 200 yard zero you will need to be 6" high at 100 yards. And for a 150 yard zero you need to be 3" high at 100 yards.

Buy a good scope that you can trust the turrets and use those turrets. Tom.

No it wouldn't. It would be too high at shorter distances. A 150 yd is a good compromise.

I was trying to help. What were you doing?

In order to know the drop at 200 yds with the bullet your using, you need to shoot it at that distance and see for yourself. if you don't want to bother with holdover on a conventional scope, there are some great BDC scopes on the market for muzzleloaders.

The chart shows the speed of the bullet at 200 yard to be 1306 feet per second.

At this speed the bullet would travel 4,701,600 feet in 3600 seconds, which is an hour. There are 5280 feet in a mile, so divide 4,701,600 feet by 5280 feet, and one then realizes that the bullet is traveling at 890 miles per hour.

Do you wish to catch that bullet traveling 890 mile/hr in your hand?

Just dissagreeing with you once again, beings the op is from NY, I am willing to bet the op's majority of shots will be 100 or less with an occassinal long shot.... with the drop is just 12-14" it would be better to learn your hold over than to aim low on the majority of your shots. Dead zero at 100.....4-6" at 150 and 12-14 at 200yds. Just my opinion and has served me well for years...

Oh by the way that is what he asked for (the drop) not should he zero at 150... so what was you doing??

But here we go again,

I was trying to change his mind about a 100yd zero. A 14" hold over is too much. With a 150 yd zero he could hold dead on up to the zero. Shooting a couple of inches high is still well within the kill zone.

If he keeps his shots to 150 yds it makes it very easy.

I hold zero at 100yds..... at 150yds, My POA is center of chest just behind the shoulder and at 200yds. it is at top back just behind the front shoulders... aiming this way has always put the bullet in the kill zone on whitetail and brought home the meat, with my gun.... Not too hard to learn or to remember....

I hold dead on to max range. 75yds.
