As soon as I get a pair of rings I get my long range AR set, this is a 223 rifle, 24" 1:8 barrel, idea is to shoot it at 300 and 600 yards with Hornady Match 77 grain ammo.
Never shot a 223 at this distance so I am at a loss regarding a starting point to set the scope dials regarding elevation, I will get them zero at 100 yards beforehand but need a place from there to start at 300 and then at 600 yards.
Any input here will be greatly appreciated, I know it is ultimately a matter of trial and error but ammo is pricey this days so any way to make this more affordable helps!
