Many thanks S
Don't forget the scope height too

do you have the opportunity to shoot at 500? is there a marker? if so the easiest way is to go to the range put on an average drop for 500 and take a shot, the marker will show where the shot hits (if you are correct in your 300 zero then it should hit on target frame...somewhere ) adjust for fall of shot and keep note of the adjustments, a ballistic chart is only going to get you into the vicinity unless you have all the variables tied down.
try 57" as a starter (based on 168grn PPU BTHP at 2700fps)

Sorry for the delay lads
.243
90g
b.c. 0.333
m.v. at 100yds 3100fps 300yds 2285 fps
scope height 6cm centre of barrel to centre of scope
your original drop of 12.5" at 300 from a 150 zero looks all wrong are you sure of that? (I am assuming that the drop is the adjustment from 150 to 300 )
or play with this

Your figures do not seem right.
Zeroed at 100 yards I would expect a drop of only about 6 inches at 300 yards.
Hi where did you get your velocity fps from are they book or actual measured. tony

In my opinion the printed fps are meaningless other than in the test rifle at prof house. A chrono is required to get fps from your rifle then calculations can be done. Atb Tony

From the Prvi Partizan website.
243 Winchester SP 5.80 g (90 gr)
0 50 100 150 200 250 300

As you can see, the 90gr bullet only drops a bit over 12" at 330 yards, as you noted. The bullet is NOT zero'ed at 150m, but that is the point blank impact point where the bullet first crosses the line of sight in its trajectory from the muzzle. You'll need to use the link posted by kennyc to do the real math.
