200 yd sight settings.

Anyone know the come-ups for std vel 22 lr from 100 yds to 200 yds. ( in MOA)

Work your way through this and check it out. Took me a few times to get everything right but wow... Any increments of distance down to one yard at a time.

 

[js2013]

Around 18 moa for me

Same here...

24 - 27 but I shoot subsonic and at meters not yards.

Wolf @1050 with a 50 yards zero. 26.3 MOA

I shoot 200 meter matches a few times a month. It may not need to be said for most but I’ll say it anyway. These numbers are loose guidelines and they change from hour to hour.

We zero or guns in before every match at the various distances we’re going to shoot and invariably by the time the match starts, the numbers are off again because the conditions changed. If not at right at the start, then certainly half way through.

Maybe not astronomically, but most often enough to cause a miss the first few shots till you figure it out and make the appropriate adjustments.

It’s frustrating, but the flip side is that it keeps it interesting...

an even 150 clicks of a 1/8moa click Weaver scope puts me in the black going either direction
50 clicks from 50yds to 100 yds
so 200 going direct from 50<->200

If I needed first round 10s I might need to refine that but when 5 sighters are allowed it's close enough and easy to remember. At 100 or 200 especially I usually need to adjust during sighters even if my last shooting was at that range anyway.

We don’t get sighters. Once the match starts you get 50 rounds for 50 targets or sixty rounds for sixty targets depending on the match. If you miss you miss. You get a zero and move on to the next one, but no way to make it up. Every shot counts.

Who's we?

 

[Dryfly24]

Who's we?

“We” - as in the people who shoot the match I was talking about?

What match is that?
Purely local or sanctioned, ie NRL?

I wish we had a "we" around here. Nearest match is about 3 hours making it hard to find playmates for "our" little shooting fragment..... Just bought a new CZ, chassis and working on the trimmings and have to go to the range and play with myself.... (LOL....yes I know). The JBM calculator is set up to take a lot of variables into account. Can't/won't be perfect but will lessen the pain if you have a way to plug in conditions at/close to the range location. I have it linked to my Android and can, with the help of Weather.com conditions report, get pretty close to where I need to be..... I am tring to get my mind right and look at it like How Fun rather than Jeez what a PiA....

Local matches sponsored by four entirely separate clubs.

My easy button for a lot of target ammo:

7.5-8.5 MOA per 50 yards.

It won’t always be exact, but it’s pretty close. If you need better than “pretty close”...ie: no sighters...

...well, the internet isn’t gonna solve that for you.

I've been using Strelock free, but I bought a Tract 2x10 with their .223 "response" reticule and I couldn't find that reticule. But I pulled one of the bullets I was using to measure the length, used the velocity on the box, and a BC I found on the web. It put me on, but just a hair low at 200 from a 100 yd sight in. If I hadn't loaned my Magnetospeed out and could have chronoed, I believe it would have been dead on.

Oops, guess I got carried away and forgot the OP only wanted a 200 yard setting. 26 to 28 moa should get you on.

I let shooters a couple shots to check their zero at any one distance if they choose before they start shooting. I usually have 15 racks of mostly 5 varying sized and shaped targets from 25 to 197 yards. Shooters do know the distances for each rack. I also usually allow 5 sighters (sometimes a bonus point is awarded for each unused sighter) to use at their discretion.

Some racks are pretty small and at least one starts with the smallest first. Letting them have usuable sighters let's them check for wind or elevation. I also will let a struggling shooter take sighters instead of keeping missing and get frustrated. Most of my competitors have good settings and accept their misses, my course hasn't been cleaned yet but the scores have really improved over the years.

Hard to get a good balance between having challenging targets for the top shooters and having plates that most shooters can hit a good many and feel with a bit more practice they can be in the hunt. Sometimes I may have a KYL type rack or a penalty for missing a shoot thru and hitting the plate in front of the one behind it. I also include a few gamble (smaller harder to hit but worth a couple more points) on some stages. If they hit it they gain a couple but aren't blown out of the match if they miss.

Over the years we've gone from guys with regular guns to most upgrading to heavier serious target guns with high end optics. I do limit ammo costs though and everyone is OK with it, if not there are other matches in the area that are open and will challenge the best shooter with the best equipment. It's usually the better shooter that places higher even when they bring a Savage/Ruger or older target gun.

I made up a couple new targets this year (if we're allowed to have matches) that should add a challenge for a couple distances. One is really close but a distance that most competitors overlook what the bullet is doing and the other for paying close attention to a particular wind flags.

RKS. Plus 20 or 30 rail on the rifle to get a 50' zero?
