Best range to set scope

[the bish]

Good advice from angrybear about getting a ballistics calculator app.

To give an example my Falcon .177 zeroed at 29 yards, on 7x magnification gives a near zero at 13 yards.

At 20 yards it needs about a quarter mil hold under.

Hold over of half, one, and one and a half mil dots work out at 37, 44, and 51 yards.

Of course scope height, pellet weight, and velocity are the variable factors for your particular set up.

get chairgun and play...

I always went for 32 yards as it gave a loverly PBR of 13-34 yards where the pellet would land within 1/4" of my aimpoint. Job done.

Unfortunately Hawke stopped supporting Chairgun at the end of 2018, so I'm not sure if it can still be downloaded, it's not on their updated site.

there we go, 30 seconds with chairgun, 32 yard zero, KZ = 0.5" (so within 1/4" either way):

Lovely little chart there, JB, giving so much very useful information. Just goes to show, a picture is worth a thousand words.......

Sub 12 springer, using "average" weight domed pellets, I usually set them up for 25 yards in .22 and 33-35 yards in .177.

How do you find the BC of a pellet, example, H&N FTT 14.66 gr .22 Caliber Pellets. I don't find any BC info on the tin. Thanks

I found this site with the info. https://nnh-net.com/bc/ Again thanks
