Basic Ballistics

This website serves to be a tool for intermediate shooters to better use their existing non-precision optics and understand their chosen zeros BE ADVISED - This tool makes lots of assumptions. Nothing beats touching grass and finding your own Data Of Previous Engagements(DOPE) Definitions - Maximum Ordinate - Maximum height your bullet will reach ABOVE your optic line (another reason 100yd zeros are kino) 2500 FPS Range - Distance at which your bullet's velocity is no longer >2500Fps. - 5.56 derives it's terminal effect on target from velocity. - 2500fps is the threshold at which performance plumments MEAN POINT BLANK RANGE - Distance at which your rounds will stay within a envelope Watch this video by HOP to better understand Point.
