Metallic Silhouette Clicks - Rimfire

Post by AnotherMisfire » 21 Mar 2016, 7:53 pm

Howdy all

I've got my new rimfire rifle sighted in 25 metres and know it's about 27-28 clicks (1 = 1/4in @ 100yd) to take it out to 50 metres.

I wanted to go shoot metallic silhouette this week but haven't sighted in for the actual distances so if anyone could give me some advice that'd be great. Unfortunately I can't get out to the range before the shoot.

I use SK magazine at the moment so we're talking 40gr @ 1050fps I believe, pretty standard.

I need to figure out the raise from a 25m zero (or a 50m zero) for:

40m chickens
60m pigs
77m turkeys
100m Rams

I'm not a great shot so I'm happy enough for a rough off the top of the head guess.

Thanks in advance,
AM

I couldn't find the BC of SK Magazine so this may be a little off but with 25m zero you should be looking at something like this (based on 25m zero)

25m - zero

50m - 1" drop, 8 clicks up to zero

75m - 5" drop, 19 clicks up to zero

100m - 11.5" drop, 46 clicks up to zero.

Are you sure about the 28 clicks at 100? We're quite a bit off. You could be right, this was with an estimated BC of 0.150 as a bit of an average.

If it's on the pack I'll run it through again with the correct BC if you can tell me.
