Dave, good stuff...thanks bro.

I just caculated some data for the CQB reticle...here is a graph showing the drop for 55grain FMJ and 75BTHP out of a 12.5 barrel, numbers vary for the 16inchers.....


55grain:



75grain:

Nice diagrams. What BC and velocities are you using for the respective bullets.

Thanks

Hey Nick - I was using some conservative velocity #s, I will have my own specific data chrony'd tomorrow

But for the 55grain I was using a 0.272 BC with 2950fps out of a 12.5 barrel
For the 75grain I was using a 0.395BC with a 2425fps out of a 12.5 barrel

If you plug in data for 77grain, it gives you about 50yards less per 0.5mil in the reticle as compared to 55grain bullet

Derek (and anyone else that may be interested)

I have some extra sheets of the sticker paper that I need to get rid of. My daughter and wife want photo stickers (that stick) for themselves and can't see myself throwing out this batch of paper, just b/c it doesn't stick as well as it used to.

If you want a set of stickers, printed with YOUR dope, PM me for an address to send a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) so I can mail you a sheet. Each sheet has 2 LARGE and 8 SMALL stickers - each sticker can be unique if you like. I'll keep printing until I use up my supply.

***using double-sided scotch tape solves the problem - just did mine again. Peel, turn upside down, apply tape, trim with scissors, and then apply to stock or scope. Obviously, you want to remove any oil from surface first - alcohol works well

Guidelines:

1. B&W only, no funny colors. No boldface, no italics, etc.
2. 4 columns max; can leave out MOA if you like (or don't have a BDC)
3. 14 distance points max
4. You are responsible for generating the data (and its accuracy) you wish to be printed, preferably sent as a spreadsheet file, or NEATLY formatted word file.
5. SASE should be big enough to fit a 6" x 6" print w/o folding.

Regards,

Dave.
