Equator.And that will differ depending on which side of the earth you are on......or is it the equator......

Honestly, I have no idea. Going out further will tell me a lot. I will keep you posted. Worst case I just bench shoot at various distances and make a DOPE card based on those results. This is all new to me. Fun figuring out though.????
I'm trying to figure out how scope height above bore height would make any kind of difference beyond 100 yards.
Maybe I'm taking this thread too seriously.

By inches I mean I have adjusted for the 4 drop already left the app.
So my bullet is behaving like it's going 2550 fps, not 2750 that I'm actually getting on the chrono. I noticed that playing with the altitude in the app makes a difference, so I made it 4,000 feet instead of 5,000. Helped a little.
Will be interesting to see the results at 300 meters, which is the next one out there at our range.
Chrono
Not a silly question. I'm shooting a leuplod vx5, which allows me to dial. I think if I wasn't dialing the turret, I wouldn't think twice about it.What is the bullet you’re shooting. Not just “Hornady”, but what is the grain and bullet type? What temperature did you get your chrono data? What is the velocity? Was it much hotter or colder than when you tried to shoot at 200? Can you post a picture of the group at 200 in relation to the POA? Why are you changing the altitude? Just keep it at the altitude you’re at. Also, in Strelok you can set the zeroing weather (both temperature and altitude).
Also, silly question, but you are using the same aiming point in your reticle at 100 and 200 right?
The only way to do that is to shoot your rifle and your loads at the ranges you want, and write down the zeros.Not a silly question. I'm shooting a leuplod vx5, which allows me to dial. I think if I wasn't dialing the turret, I wouldn't think twice about it.
I know, I know just hold over and call it a day. I'm big on eliminating errors when it comes to shooting animals. My goal is to shoot out to 350 yards and be able to drop the animal on the spot. I know it's not realistic, but trying to eliminate the non human errors.
Sight height at 1.5" gives your typical 1.9 MOA drop at 200 yards when sighted in at 100 yards. Change the sight height to 4" and the drop is only 0.7 MOA at 200 with the 100 yard zero.????

Because it changes the parabolic trajectory if they’re zeroed at the same distance.
Take two rifles shooting M855. Both zeroed at 100 yards.
If one has an optic with a height over bore of 1.25”, the POI at 200 yards is 3.7” low.
If the optic has a height over bore of 2.75”, the POI at 200 yards is 2.2” low.
If you zero closer, it has a bigger effect.
A 36 yard zero results in the following differences to POI at 200 yards:
1.25” HoB= 2.1” low 200 yard POI
2.75” HoB= 4.7” low 200 yard POI
Hornady and the Sterlok. I'm going to change the scope height to see what it does. I am slightly higher than before because my objective is larger on the new scope.
Bruh! ... that is Reptile Megathread material.Bullet drop? My wife is worried about my pubic hair accidentally pulling my trigger when I’m IWB
Ok, but how does this apply in the real world?
36 yards? Do you mean the first point where the bullet crosses the sight line in its arc? That's not the zero.
I can't imagine a scenario where a person would change scope heights a total of an inch and a half.
I'm missing something here.
Math always works.
Until it doesn't.

I see what you're saying now. Just a difference in terminology.
