Sighting in with 147 shouldn't get you close to both lightest to heavy and have you shoot 2 inch low or 2 inch high depending on distanse haven't had a chance to reach out to 300
I zeroed at a 100 yards with 110 vmax they are in the bullseye at 50 yards the same with 125 sst the 110 and 125 shoot same point of impact for me. I always zero at a 100 yards but test at 50 yards most of my shots are 30 yards to 50 yards yards. My 308 with 150 sp are the same way zero at a 100 yards and they hit the 50 yards bullseye. The 300 blackout is very accurate for me I get 3/8 inch groups all the time at a 100 yards.
Close range weapon in my mind. I wouldn’t use this outside of two meters. If that was the gas id be using 5.56 or my .308 It honestly depends on what you’re using it for. Home Defense it’s the best option outside of a AR9. Hunting, I again depends on ammo like he said. Probably not using subs more supers for that. But I wouldn’t shoot outside 200 meters.
To zero any firearm you need to determine what range you intend to use it, if your intention is home defense zero for 25 yards if it's intended for hunting zero for 100 , it's not about the caliber it's about the intended usage
@@InfamousTactical yeah. and if he did, he didn't get it. know your rifle, know your load zero appropriately and you'll know you're within an 8" target plate 25-200 yards with good hunting ammo. not range FMJ. further knowing your scope adjustment or hold instantly re-zero's your rifle.
Great video. I'm in Wisconsin too. Do you have any experience with sighting in 300.blackout pistol subs, with atn thermal with the ABL range finder? Thanks
Thank you, interesting to view the Grandma history. I remember in 1980 at the First Musky Symposium at La Cross Wisconsin when Jake introduced his new lure. Everyone at Muskies Inc was impressed and I think he sold quite a few. One of my regrets is not being able to pick a couple up. Jake left before I could meet him. Hope we can see more history of this sort in the future.
I’ve been using Strelok for many years. It makes things so much easier when going from one reticle to another. I currently use a Tremor3 reticle. Strelok is definitely worth the money especially if you intend to do a lot of long range precision shots.
Exactly my point. With as many different length barrels and many different loads available, you really need to go shoot your particular set up and test it out
I have a 8.5” AR pistol chambered in 300 AAC. I have a Romeo 5 red dot on the way. Although, I know that the 300 AAC was designed for CQB if I zeroed my gun at let’s say 50 yards then how high would I have to aim to hit at 200 yards? I looked up a trajectory chart and it said that the bullet drop at 200 yards was 46”. That seams like you would have to hold your red dot above the entire target… can someone please give me some advice. Im pretty new to ballistics and knowledge and I’m open to all advice. Thank you in advance !
If you watched my video you would see that you really need to go shoot and see. Too many variables to tell anyone what there set up will do. Think of the path as a football. So for my rifle zeroed at 33 yards it crosses the zero path on the way up and 200 on the way down.
Your setup is less than ideal for trying to reach 200 yards. Your barrel length is better suited for subsonic ammunition. It is not long enough to get the benefits of the extra powder burn needed for supersonic ammunition. A red dot even with supersonic ammunition is going to be hard to get the consistent hold overs needed for repeated hits at 200 yards. Start with all the needed info for your ballistic calculator and the put it on paper to see how close the data it gave you is to what actually occurs at distance.
That was very interesting, I have an 11 inch barrel and a red dot on it. I also have a 16 in rifle as well zeroed at 100. I’ve never taken the time to do this testing with the pistol but frequently wondered about exactly what you covered here. I hand load my 300 BO rds. 125 gr with 18.5 gr of IMR 4227 and get right at 1900 + or- fps out of the pistol. I definitely need to go check this out with a scope on mine now.
I used a ballistics calculator put in my zero ranges and specs of my ammunition then checked the spread from using 25,50 and 75 yard zero to see which one would be best for me. I found that the 25 yd zero had the best of both worlds in terms of being easily visible and having the least adjustments/holdover across the spread of 25-200 yds.
I agree with the ballistic calculator. I did chrono all my loads, so I have accurate numbers for my gun and load combination. I loaded 85gr copper expanding bullets going 2600 ft/sec, 130gr varmint bullets going 1900 ft/sec and 200gr bullets going about 1050. I sight in at 28 yards and my bullet is close to the +/- 4 in at almost 300, 200 and 100 yards respectively. Since the trajectory crosses zero twice, I set for a closer zero and I'm am fairly close with all 3 loads. This way, if I change bullets, the only thing I need to worry about is how far out each bullet can go before compensating for drop.
Awesome history video. I caught my first musky this labor day weekend on a black and silver grandma lure I got for my birthday from a good friend. Best birthday gift ever!
