22-250 50 yd. zero need quick answer

[dbowling]

need to know what to zero a 22-250 in at 50 yds. to be dead on at 200...only have 50-60 yds to play with right now until my neighbor gets home then I can shoot out to 300 yds... but wanting to take it hunting this evening.... Winchester 45 gr. white box jhp...Bushnell Legend scope approx. 1.5 in. from bore center..was thinking maybe 1 in. high at 50yd. would do it... thanks for any help..

My Sierra manual shows 45 grain at 3700 fps

50 yards = .39" low
100 yards = 0
150 yards = .44" low
200 yards = 1.83" low

The only way to know out of your rifle is to shoot it. A very small amount off at 50 yards will make it off a lot at 200 - 300 yards.

thanks guys...sighted it in 1.5 in. high at 50, should put it a inch low at 200, will shoot it to find out.. very seldom get shots over 150 yds. around here anyway.

Seems a bit high for 50 yds. I would think dead on at 50 might put you dead on at 200.

This chart shows about everything from Winchester for the .22-250 45 gr hollow point. Pick the caliber, bullet and yardage then shoot. Then you can view the statistics chart.

might be, will have to shoot it at 200 to see...was basically a uneducated guess...

^ The link I posted with your bullet says 0.0" at 50 and 0.0" at 200.

I tested this specific round out of my Encore and can't get a reload to match it yet. LOL Hundreds of dollars in components and countless hours yet the Wally-world whitebox offering is still king. /sigh

As mentioned, 0.0" at 50 yds puts you on at 200 yds. With my Encore, I switch from muzzleloader to 22-250 barrel after deer season ends and use this exact range to verify zero after the barrel swap.

Good luck!

That high at 50 Yrd's will put you way high at 200. Go with the on at 50 and you should be close at 200.
