How much bullet drop? - bowtie - 10-13-2013

AR platform with a 24" barrel 1-8.75 twist. I got factory Hornady 123 Amax and 107gr Lapua scenars from AA. 200 yard ranges are pretty much all I have in my area and have the chance to go to 500 yards today. Anyone have a bullet chart I could take a look at from 300-500 yds?

Your a max box should have a generic chart on it that will be close

If you have chronographed these loads and have accurate speeds you can enter the info into ballistics program. I use Strelok, it a free app on my phone

With a 200 yard zero try this

300 = 1 - 1.1 mil
400 = 2 - 2.2 mil
500 = 3.2 - 3.5 mil

That should get you in the ball park

If you email me the following data, I can give you much more detailed dope...(data from where you shoot)

velocity
altitude where you shoot
barometric pressure
temperature
humidity when you zeroed
height of the center of your scope over the center of your barrel's bore
bullet weight
bullet ballistic coefficient
distance at which you zeroed your rifle

Typing out the chart for you will take a while, but I note that you are new here, and I want you to feel welcome...so email me the info because I often don't get to gun sites on a regular basis. By emailing it to me, it will both tell me where to send the info, and remind me that you still need it...and welcome to 65Grendel.

Based on published MV and my current atmospheric conditions, I got this for the 123 AMAX. [Image: Z91YPiDl.jpg]
