556 Bullet Trajectory Chart

556 Bullet Trajectory Chart - 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. 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 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. The 50 grain tsx is loaded in wcc 5.56mm brass. I have not found any. 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.

I have a bolt action in this caliber and want to start using it. The 50 grain tsx is loaded in wcc 5.56mm brass. 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. I'm assuming 200yrds for starters.

I'm assuming 200yrds for starters. Interesting because i can find the doc’s top recommended.308 bullet available without much trouble. Will the 223 have more drop? How different are the two if say they are equipped with the same 55 grain bullet? With a 50 yard zero, the bullet will strike 0.43 inches lower at 25 yards. 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

I'm assuming 200yrds for starters. The charts show rises and drops of various bullet weights out to maybe 600 or 800 yards. 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 Will the 223 have more drop?

However, a dot with 3 moa size, will cover 0.75 at 25 yards.

Would Also Appreciate Any Recommendations On What Distance Is Normally Used For Zero With This Caliber.

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. I have a bolt action in this caliber and want to start using it.
