Default Graduations on the Lyman 57 Peep

I have a question but it wasn't answered in the paperr that came with the sight.

It has graduation marks 0, 15, 30, 45

Now that I've got my 50 yd zero down and aligned the zero with the witnes mark on the sight, does this mean I could click up to the 15 mark and be zero'd for 150 yd?

Not that I would hunt a roundball out that far but for target shooting it might be interesting.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

HA

I think the only way to know how the graduation marks correspond to your rifle and your load is shooting, lots and lots of shooting.

That is a given. As long as the powder holds out and the snow don't get too deep.

I think every click on those is suppose to be 1/4 MOA. I have the instructions around here someplace, i will see if I can find them.

I believe they are reference marks only.

That sight is a great sight and is used in many applications.

Being it is used in many applications there are many variables that make the marks just marks, If the sight was only used in situations were the distance between the front sight and the rear sight was always the same the Clicks and marks could represent a set distanced. But because of many different applications the variables are almost infinite. (distance between the sights)

I am pretty sure the clicks on the sight = 1/4 minute at 100 yards. Any way they worked that way for me on my Renegade.

Thanks guy's. I thought it would be hard to have pre set ranges on a peep unless it was calibrated to a specific load Like the ladder tang sights.

Deleted since I figured it probably wouldn't help
