243 ballistics help please

[ClarkW]

I am wondering what the ballistic charts say about a 100 grain Remington CoreLokt PSP 243 bullet? What is the drop at 200, 300 & 400 yards? It is sighted in at 3" high at 100 right now. Thanks.

I'm just curious, but why didn't you go to remington.com

Im guessing that bullet would drop straight to the ground. Now combine it with a case and some powder in it and it might go a touch farther...

Sorry that I came across as a butt-head...even though I am one. I do not like to sight my guns in that high (3"), especially that ones that shoot that flat. I like them to be just like the chart (but w/maybe a 225-250zero) 7-8" low at 300 and 18 or so at 400.

You need a rangefinder. But, at 300, I like to put the cross-hairs on the back, and If I shoot 400, I take my time, get a real-good positon and hold about half a body height above the back.

Now, Jack O'Conner recommeded a zero like that. But, it gives you a bullet that is about 6" away from your line of sight. Based on the Remington recommendations ( and also the Winchester and Federal recommendations) your bullet is dead on to 250 yards w/no corrections needed and depending on where you like to hold, no corrections needed to 300.

I also note that I didn't really answer your question...as you asked about a zero that was 3" high at 100...I don't know the answer for that zero.
