Stupid Questions!
 

I have a 22 Mag and a 17 HMR. The 22 Mag ive had for ayear or soand shot it with iron sightsas long as ive had it. I got the 17 HMR for christmas and never got around to shooting it yet. I decided to put a scope on the 22 and the 17 has to have a scope. How high do i need to sighht each of these in at 50 yards for them to be close to on at 100 yards? I know the 22 is going to have to be a little higher but i would like to get a rough number for each then ill get them exact at the range. I have around 300 rounds for each of them this weekend and 100 for my 204 Ruger soim spending the day at the range Sat.

17HMR- 0.1-0.2" high at 50 yards for a 100 yard zero

22WM- .6" high for 30gr bullets, 1" high using 40gr bullets, 1.6" high using 50gr bullet

(values obtained for 1000ft elevation 59F temp)

OK thanks.

both of these rounds have a small amount of trajectory over 100 yards so it wont be much maybe 1/2'' to 2'' depending on the ammo

[/align]Read your ammo package. The Hornady round I bought for my HMR had trajectory on the package.
