EXAMPLE
You have a WSM and are shooting the following Winchester brand load:
1
gr. Ballistic Silver Tip bullet at
1
FPS muzzle velocity. is combination falls under Ballistic Group “F”. After setting the rangender to ballistic group
“F”, go to the range and sight in your riescope at
1
yards. If you then take a shot at a target at
1
yds, the bullet
drop will be inches. If the shot is at angle of degrees upward, then the corrected bullet drop will be inches.
What if your caliber is not listed?
While we have taken great care to include as many calibers and brand names in our ballistics tables, new loads are
always being developed. In addition, some shooters load their own ammunition with unique ballistic characteristics.
If you cannot nd your load in our ballistic tables, you can still use the bullet drop feature of the laser rangender.
As above, sight in your rie at
1
yds. en shoot the rie, without adjusting the riescope, at yds. Measure the
bullet drop from the point of aim. Using this drop, select the ballistic group from below. If you will be shooting longer
distances then you may want to check the bullet drop at yds. Because there is enormous variation in rie barrels,
chambers, and hand loads, you should thoroughly test the ballistic setting before actual hunting. You may need to
move up or down one group depending upon your tests.
If Bullet Drop is: @300 yds @300 m @500 yds @500 m
