    Trajectory Validation

    Guys, been playing around with my .270 at various ranges. Just been trying to make the trajectory numbers marry up.

    So so far I have got my load - 130gr SST, Norma brass, 60gr AR 2213SC. On a hit sunny day it chronied at right on 3000fps. I have it a bang on 100m zero.

    Entered all the data into strelok. Took it to 200m. Strelok tells me up .5 MRAD. Fire. POI strikes 3" low if I recall. Anyway I needed .6 to get it bang on. Trajectory val = 2750 fps.

    Try at 330m. Up 1.7 MRAD. Using 2750fps. Fire, hit x3. A little high but hard to tell if it's me or what.

    Try at 480m. Up 3.5 MRAD. Strikes way high. Guess -.3 MRAD. 4x hits, off to right but fine for height. Trajectory val showing 2872 fps. Sweet.

    But then it doesn't marry up at the shorter ranges. Any body see something I'm doing obviously wrong?

    Cheers

    I'm thinking I may have done something idiotic at 200m which is fracking the whole picture.

    Its my understanding you should shoot at 400+ and ideally that + is as far as possible when using the validate function

    Scope clicks as marked??
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    What about zero at 200 and dial from there. I know a mate that had trouble with a 100 yd zero and deer missed because of it.

    I'm not familiar with strelok. What input options other than the obvious does it have? Inclination?

    Also, what scope?

    Ran into similar problems, Its the bc set velocity back at 3000 if your chronny is legit and manipulate the bc to match actual drop.bc dosnt have much effect short range but makes more and more difference further out.

    Try a 130 or 150 meters zero and establish your tables from there. Is your scope height input good?

    Check repeat ability of your scope buy shooting a "square box" as well if you can.

    I'm using strelok pro which is very comprehensive. Has inclination, corealis, weather, very detailed bullet data input etc.

    Scope is a vortex pst 4-16 ffp.

    If you're dialling for range, I can't see the point dicking around with weird zero ranges - surely it's better to stick with 100m (or 200m, if you're not shooting anything close) and work out your drop chart from there?

    At any rate, I agree that the 200m shooting looks like the outlier, but either way you'll probably want to re-do all of your range data.

    Confirmation that your scope moves what it says it should on your turrets is a good starting point b4 completely relying on ballistic tables. Set up a grid @ 100 metres (if possible 2 A4 sheets on top of each other or 1 A3 with grid accurately drawn, use full distance top to bottom to minimise errors) and confirm actual movement equals turret markings. If out input correction into ballistic calculator. Cannot remember if Strelok has that function - I am sure it will. Then do your sighting in zero and then your different range confirmations and then adjustments back into your ballistic calculator.

    Agree with zimmer. I had a Bushnell that was .30 per click opposed to .25

    Does not explain your low MPI at 200 tho.
    Is your setup and position exactly the same all the time.
    If using rear support for the stock ie a bag of sorts, and if not perfect every time it will explain vertical variations as well.

    My Bushnell 6500 over-dials about the same distances as you mention. It took me a while to figure it out and get everything sorted. I thought it was my velocity then the projectiles BC but it turned out to be the scope click values. All sorted and verified now! On target out further than I can realistically shoot!

    Mine is a 6500 as well. Still have it as it is a reliable scope but use it on my .223 which I rarely dial unless varmiting.
