azbirdhunter88 Report post Posted August 21, 2017 Ok so I bought a vortex viper 4-16-50 scope for my 22-250 this weekend. I'm shooting hornady superformance varmit 50 gr. out of it. It shoots 4000 fps. Do any of you know what the drop lines would be in my scope for that bullet for the BDC? I can't find an app or anything online for it. I just want to know the yardage that each line would represent for what I'm shooting. Thanks guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azbirdhunter88 Report post Posted August 21, 2017 Ya it didn't come with it. I have tried the vortex site but can't find the correct bullet. If someone has time to find what the drop lines represent for that bullet I'll repay the favor. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azbirdhunter88 Report post Posted August 21, 2017 Ya Brady I know what it drops at out to 500 yards. Question is what yardage are each line in my scope for that bullet. That's what I'm trying to find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brademan76 Report post Posted August 21, 2017 Heres the manual. I don't think there is an online tool/calculator out there that is going to give you what youre looking for. http://www.vortexoptics.com/uploads/web_manual_reticle_bdc-sfp-13a.pdf One easy way to get a rough estimate without blowing through a bunch of ammo would be to make visible marks on a board/paper at the bullet drop measurements indicated in the standard hornady ballistics chart and set your target out to each of the corresponding distances to see where the mark lines up on your bdc. The only way to know precisely thought would be to actually shoot groups at each distance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOMP442 Report post Posted August 21, 2017 Go shoot it. It's the only way to be sure, and unless it's a first focal plane scope the hash marks will represent a different range at different power settings on the scope. It's probably best to determine your drops at high power where you would more than likely have the power set for a longer shot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
