For giggles I tried 150 grains of pyrodex pellets and a 250 grain SST from hornady instead of my usual 100 grains of pellets. My windage was right on the money but my impact was 4 1/2 inches higher than the 100 grains of pellets. Thre shots that were pretty close together at 50 yards. Does this sound right? I had it sighted in for two inches high at 50 originally so I could have a 150 yard zero. In the past I didn't get as good accuracy from 150 grains but I never shot the sst's either. I used the xtp's and shockwaves. I prefer the Hornady brand because of the sabots expose a little more bullet and aligns better I think.
My question is this since I do not usually shoot that much powder but was going to give it a try. What should be my 50,100,125, and maybe all the way out to 200 yard trajectory be if I gave my scope let say 20 clicks of less elevation to bring it to a two inch high 50 yard zero or should I have lower it even more? I figured someone was already using this combo and had already done the dirty work. Again I shot a 150 grain of pyrodex pellets and a 250 grain Hornady SST in the rifle shot 4 1/2 inches high at 50 yards I wanted to know were I should put the zero at.
Thanks for the help,
