New 6.5 Grendel ballistic and charting MOA etc...

[okiemike]

New to the Grendel, got a budget BCA and love it.

Shooting out of a 16" barrell using wolf ammo, and "high" scope rings (measured 2-1/2" from center of barrel to center of scope), If my 0 was set at 50 yards, how high would i be at 100 yards? how do you figure this?

Next question, If my 0 is at 50 yards, and i shoot out to 425 yards, would that compute to 8 MOA using a mil dot scope?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, trying to understand..

ps i know that wolf ammo isnt meant for precision shooting, but was sighting in yesterday getting scope "close" and was hitting 1" or < at 50, few inches high at 100 and +/- 1-2" at 200... and dinging a 16" x 16" gong using 8 MOA mil dot at 425 yards, does all this sound correct?

You would need to chronograph it to be exact, but can get an idea using a G1 BC of .40 and 2500 fps (reported BC for that bullet and velocity from 16") and plug that and the rest of your info in at JBM

EDIT:
without adjusting for your temp, elevation, air pressure etc. It's pretty close, 2.2" low at 200 and 9.4 minutes low at 430 yards, which would still put you well onto a 16" target with that hold.
