Hey folks,
I am new to the forum but not new to shootings. Ordinarily, I strictly shoot .308s but I have bought a smith a wesson m&p carbine with then1:8 twist barrel.
I will be shooting both with and without a suppresor but hopefully will not need to change ammomduemto the can. I plan oshooting no further than 600 yards max.
Question : what is the best bullet weight to sight in and shoot with? The heavier the better is my philosophy so I'm thinking anywhere from 70-77 grains.
Next question, I will be shooting with a red dot sight co witnessed withnthenstandard a2 front sight. If I want to be able to shoot from 100 to 300 without having due massive dope adjustments what should I set my initial zero at? Unfortunately their are no 50 yard ranges around so I might have to use the outdated 100 yard zero. What do you guys suggest? Also, I will have back up sights so I plan on setting the front sight flush with the base of the sight....what should I set my rear sight at? 8/3 and then plus 2 or 3 for longer range shooting?
I've read the posts and charts by the master on this site with all the bullet poi/poa charts imjustbneed to know what will work best with my set up.
Thanks for the help bros.
