    First zero, Help Please

    Hi all.

    I was just wondering If sombody could advise me what my secondary zero would be If my .177 PCP Is shooting dead on In my 14 yard back garden. The pellet Im using Is shooting at 800 fps and the pellet weight Is 8.4g. I dont really understand all this chaigun stuff and would just like to know roughly what my secondary zero would be,

    Thanks,

    John

    What is the height difference between the centre of your barrel bore and the centre of your scope? I think that info will be needed too.

    Depending on scope height about 35 yards with a 1.6 inch scope centre to centre. If this was 2 inches(when using high mounts) then second zero would be about 42 yards.. I have a 14 yard back garden as well!

    Centre to Centre - 46mm = 1.8''

    Your near zero (14 yards ) is your secondary zero.

    Your far zero is your primary zero.

    You need to get it zeroed at your far (primary) zero.

    800fps is a little too near the knuckle. You really ought to get that checked over a chrono with a heavy pellet and make any necessary adjustments
