556 Bullet Trajectory Chart
556 Bullet Trajectory Chart - Interesting because i can find the doc’s top recommended.308 bullet available without much trouble. I once found an article that included a chart saying that 1/11 was better for stabilization o0f the 55gr m193 load but that the military decided screw 1/12 is close enough. The primers are also crimped in place. With a 50 yard zero, the bullet will strike 0.43 inches lower at 25 yards. Assuming that i only ever shoot 55gr and that i am ok with using m193 for defense, i have considered looking for a 1/11 twist barrel. However, a dot with 3 moa size, will cover 0.75 at 25 yards.
Interesting because i can find the doc’s top recommended.308 bullet available without much trouble. How different are the two if say they are equipped with the same 55 grain bullet? Obviously, i'm familiar with the recommended loads in the stickied thread, but i'm wondering what provides the best overall combination of a flat trajectory out to a distance and best terminal ballistics There are a few graphs showing the trajectory of bullets fired out of rifles/carbines with various barrel lengths where all rifles/carbines are zeroed to the same distance. It seems that for all practical purposes with a 50 yard zero, you get the same poa/poi from 25 yards up to around 75 yards.

How different are the two if say they are equipped with the same 55 grain bullet? Will the 223 have more drop? Interesting because i can find the doc’s top recommended.308 bullet available without much trouble. The point where the bullet drops back down to the poi is closer to the 250 meter mark.thus why the army is going this.
However, a dot with 3 moa size, will cover 0.75 at 25 yards. Will the 223 have more drop? With a 50 yard zero, the bullet will strike 0.43 inches lower at 25 yards. I'm assuming 200yrds for starters. I have a bolt action in this caliber and want to start using it.

Interesting because i can find the doc’s top recommended.308 bullet available without much trouble. The 50 grain tsx is loaded in wcc 5.56mm brass. The point where the bullet drops back down to the poi is closer to the 250 meter mark.thus why the army is going this direction. Would also appreciate any recommendations on what distance is normally used.

The 50 grain tsx is loaded in wcc 5.56mm brass. Interesting because i can find the doc’s top recommended.308 bullet available without much trouble. The charts show rises and drops of various bullet weights out to maybe 600 or 800 yards. There are a few graphs showing the trajectory of bullets fired out of rifles/carbines with various barrel lengths where all rifles/carbines are zeroed to the same distance.
