SuperMagnum50 gr V-max trajectory
Could any of you guys look in your Hornady manual and give me the trajectory for my 22-250 shooting 50 gr V-max with 36.5 grains Rl-15 at a supposedly 3800 fps. What I want to know is how high it should be zeroed in at 100 yards to be dead on at 200 or 300 yards and also how much drop it would have out to 500 yards with a 200 or 300 yard zero.
Thanks

Bigdog2Sorry I don't use the Hornady manual but the computer program I use plus a few more assumptions indicates that following should be very good estimates.
If you are dead on zero at 200 yards, this round should be also zero at 54 yards, and .68" high at 100 yds, 4.1 " low at 300, and 12.35" low at 400 and 25.61" low at 500 yards.
With a 300 yard zero, you'd also be zero at 34 yds, 2" high at 100yds, 2.7" high at 200 , 6.8" low at 400 and 18.76" low at 500.
In my experience, book velocity for any load will be load. Now a day chronographs are pretty cheap as are computer trajectory programs.
Do a google search for pointblank software. It's freeware that will give you ballistic info if you know the bc and velocity of a given bullet.
