Are you sure you need to know the BC when lobbing Volkswagens downrange?

Thanks ronn47. I thought that the BC was around .185. I know when I had a different scope on the Ruger 1, I had to aim at the top of the trees and 1/2 of the cross hairs in the scope to hit (lucky) steel at 500 yards. These are 24" gongs. The black is at 300 yards. The red steel was at 500 yards. I took that gun out of my ballistic calculator when I changed scopes but if I remember correctly, at 500 yards I had to aim 24" high. A lot of ammo was shot that day.
300 yards

Same as a brick…………..
Are you sure that is 24" and not 24' at 500 yards?
I like that bullet and have shot deer with it quite successfully but at much shorter ranges.

You are correct.. 24 feet at 500 yards
