.... preliminary tests show 1st mildot top of kill for 45 as the dot for me comes in at about 42 yards with my 30 yard zero...

Try some higher mounts Ross

Try some higher mounts Ross

its on sportsmatch or bisley (same thing iirc) mediums, if i go high mounts that will be a pain for close ones and if i go for bkl's they are crap, what do you think paul, at the moment the 1st mildot comes in at about 43 yards, and at 45 it is about 3mm lower than the mildot

I use high BKLs and a 33 yard zero.

If you have Chairgun, put in velocity of 775fps, pellet weight 8.44, BC of 0.024, scope height of 1.85 inches and zero at 33 yards - that gives 1st mil-dot just past 46 yards. Gives quite a safety margin in that if I put the mil-dot in the centre of the kz, it should hit from 37 yards +. Bit risky but it takes the edge of having to range guess accurately. A 35 yard zero would be better but the garden isn't long enough

If you haven't got Chairgun then e-mail/pm me your set up details and I'll get back to you

so either im taking a trip to dowlings tommorow for some more mounts or i change my zero to 35 yards, that should bring it in, to bring it in on first mildot for 45 i had to adjust 6 clicks high but they are 1/8 rather than 1/4. i think i could be having an odd zero as my gun is mega cant sensative already

Depends on your scope height at the mo Any idea what it is?

[ross H]

id say 45mm within 10mm

Hmmmmm 4.5cms with 30 yard zero gives 1st mil-dot bang on 45 yards. Well near enough...

I think yours must be a lot lower - more like 1.2 inch (30mm)
