Videos tagged with 300 Yard Zero

This video explains the concept of ballistic trajectory and how different zero distances affect the point of impact at closer ranges. It highlights that a 100-yard zero will result in a lower point of impact at 200 and 300 yards, while a 200 or 300-yard zero will cause the bullet to strike higher at 100 yards. The speaker demonstrates adjusting optics based on these principles.

This video explains the rationale behind a 36-yard zero for AR-15 type rifles, demonstrating its effectiveness for achieving combat accuracy out to approximately 300 yards with standard 5.56mm ammunition. The instructor highlights that this zero method simplifies aiming by keeping the bullet's trajectory within a manageable range of the line of sight, allowing for center-of-mass holds at various distances. The demonstration uses a CMMG Mk V rifle with a HoloSun optic and PMC Bronze 55-grain plinking ammunition.

This video compares Frontier's 68gr .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition for budget-conscious shooters seeking sub-MOA accuracy. The instructor, Gary from Paramount Tactical, conducts velocity and accuracy tests using a Labradar chronograph and an AR-15 platform. He emphasizes the critical difference between .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO chamberings and the importance of understanding ballistic equivalents for zeroing.

This video demonstrates the process of zeroing a 10.3-inch Daniel Defense MK18 at 100 yards and then evaluating its performance at extended distances (200, 300, and 400 yards). The instructor emphasizes the importance of completing previous zeroing steps (25, 36, 50 yards) for optimal results and highlights the impact of wind on bullet trajectory. The final zero is confirmed at 100 yards, with subsequent shots at longer ranges showing significant drop and deviation, particularly at 300 and 400 yards.
