Question of the Day - WHY Zero at 100yards

I was doing some ELR stuff this weekend and Mike, the person coaching us, asked the question "WHY DO YOU ZERO AT 100 YARDS?"

We were a bit puzzled with the question because it was the norm that everyone followed.

Well, Mike went on to say that it was likely because back in the day, the most common range for hunting was limited to 100yards because their guns, with some exceptions, didnt shoot well at longer ranges.

Mike went on to share that with today's bullets and advanced ballistics that goes into making them, many of those bullets do not stabilize until after 100yards. For that reason, he said he gets tighter groups at 200 vs 100 yards so that is where he sets his zero.

Interested in thoughts from others???

An interesting trivia fact/supposition.

Who, except @Redmanss woulda thunk it.

The width of a major feature on the space shuttle was determined by the width of a horse's ass. 🙃


The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Well, because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the wagon tramways, and that's the gauge they used. So, why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that same wheel spacing. Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break more often on some of the old, long distance roads in England . You see, that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since. And what about the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match or run the risk of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's a*s came up with this?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' as*es.)  Now, the twist to the story: When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah . The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, a major Space Shuttle design feature, of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system, was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's a*s. And you thought being a horse's a*s wasn't important? Ancient horse's as*es control almost everything.

SOLD Manners LRH full length arca rail

Hello everyone,

Machined a full length rail for my manners LRH and screwed up first go around. fixed the mistake, now up for grabs. Uses stock mounting holes for the arca section and the B&T picatinny section, so no extra hardware or modification necessary.

Long story short, math is hard and I messed up the hole pattern on my model. Welded up the holes on the bottom side and ran the program again to fix it.

Ended up taking off 0.010” on the bottom side to make sure I have a clean surface. So the rail itself has a functional dovetail, but fits loose compared to the stock 3.5” section from Manners. You’ll need to tighten ball heads, bipods etc.

Unseen side still has holes on the top opened up, so just a cosmetic issue. Some pitting from the welding on the bottom.

Weights 8 oz, didn’t bother pocketing it out because this was a dud. 14” in length. Sand blasted, not finished, wouldn’t recommend anodize because of the welding. Likely the finish won’t turn out well if anodized.

$40 shipped to you.

Is this a cratered primer?

CCI 450 in Alpha OCD Dasher brass, first firing.

My go-to load of 32.0-gr Varget. It's an older barrel I cut from 26" down to 18".

4 of 20 rounds for zero and quick test had hard bolt lift. The rest were butter. Not sure why. All the brass is virgin: I ran it all through my die and over a neck mandrel like always. ES was 12, SD was 4.2 fps. They average 2,890-fps from the 18" tube and this same load was going 2,960 when it was 26" long.

Wonder if I should back off 0.4-gr or what?

All 20 primers pretty much look like this though. But they haven't been flattened.

I am now officially a Tuner convert

I never thought about using tuners. I did do some research on them but could not find anything to fully explain how they worked.

Lately though I started seeing more information on YouTube and websites so I was intrigued. I found that everyone at the top competing in ARA .22 LR is using them. Most Open F-Class folks at the top are using them. I’ve seen some in PRS now using tuner brakes.

So, without any expectations, I bought one from Erik Cortina – the V2 version, and installed it yesterday on my PRS rifle, which came threaded with an 11-degree crown. It’s a 6mm ARC and using Hornady factory ammo – the 108s.

Today I took it to the 100-yard line for some tests. Here’s what it looks like now. This is also to show that I used a bench rest setup to narrow down the variables.
i-MGx6kb4-XL.jpg



I shot three different lots of ammo totaling 60-rounds.

For brevity, these images below are the highlights. The first thing noticed was that my zero changed quite a bit - .3~.4 Mils low. I adjusted .3 mils for the second lot test. It is very important to note that so called "fliers" are gone. There were zero wide or low "flier" shots out of 60.

This first image is from my most accurate Lot. The numbers represent the tuner settings (0-25). The second row is for repeatability. Setting 5 is the most accurate, although I only had 2 shots left they went in the same hole!
i-JGQzT63-XL.jpg


The third lot tested is also very good. By then I was just testing random settings - on all three lots Setting #5 was the best. Interesting that all the groups shot at the same settings look very similar to the first Lot tested. There is repeatability. Setting 5 on this lot was 3-shots (not 2-shots like the first lot.) Still one ragged hole.
