| What zero? | |

| Hi guys, about to send off a variation for 22lr. Just wondering | |
| what range any of you would suggest zeroing it at? Bearing in | |
| mind I have bought it for the slightly smaller permissions where | |
| I want to keep disruption to a minimum and already have a 17hmr | |
| which can be used for permissions where longer range shots are | |
| required. | |
| Was thinking about 60m? Anyone know off-hand what the bullet | |
| trajectory would be like if zeroed at 60m? | |
| Thanks in advance | |

| I have my .22lr zeroed at 50m. Seems to be an ideal distance. | |

| Do you know what the bullet trajectory is like when zeroed 50? | |
| Eg how high at 25 yards, then the drop at say 60 and 70 yards? | |
| Thanks for reply | |

| Not too sure about bullet drop measurements at different ranges | |
| tbh. I just use the mildots on the scope as I've got used to | |
| them. Haven't actually measured the drop in inches. 50 yards | |
| does seem to be the sweetspot using RWS ammo out of a 20" barrel | |

| I've been spoilt by the hmr. 20 to 120m point and shoot lol. | |
| have u always used RWS rounds? Don't think my local stocks | |
| them. All I see when I'm there is CCI | |

| Use Strelok app, free and gives you a table of distances or pick | |
| your reticle and it will provide holdover. Just type in details | |
| of calibre etc and it does the rest. | |
| Class app. | |

| I started off using CCI, then moved to Winchester. The | |
| Winchester hollow points were great until I tried RWS. | |
| Previously the Winchester rounds had at least two fliers per | |
| box, and the accuracy was acceptable. After switching to RWS the | |
| accuracy can be relied on with confidence, and there are no | |
| fliers in the boxes. The RWS rounds feel and look better made | |
| than the Winchesters. CCI and Winchester doesn't even come close | |
| to RWS imo. Tannyoky sells RWS. Last time they were around �35 | |
| for a brick of 500. | |

| Sounds like I'm going to have to seek out the RWS! Thanks for | |
| that cannon! | |
