Bullit drop question
 
I finally got ma can yesterday. When I sighted in, using a halo sight at 100yd, I would shoot 3" high at 50 yd. Should it drop that much in fifty yards ?
I'm shooting 220 gr Match King over 9.1 of H110.

Are there any bullit drop charts for the .300 Whisper

Thanks

1040fps, 1.5" sight height, zero at 100.

Yes, that is correct. What you see is probably normal. Because its so slow, it drops off pretty fast. I am supprised how at only 10 yards its almost at zero then not until 100 yards.

A .223 will shoot low at 50 yards when sighted in at 100, its much faster and is still on its way up in its arc.

Here is a free ballistics calculator so you can see what your loads will do:

If I'm dead on @ 100 yards w/supersonics, I crank in 13"-14" up elevation before I shoot 300-221 & then hold dead on @ 100y bullseye w/subs.
