I plan to go to the range to tomorrow to finally move from a 100m zero to a 300m zero and from there work out my CQ zero on the 50m range.
The biggest problem is being able to spot my hits.
I don't have a spotting scope and my rifle scope is a miserly 4x so that won't help.
Last time I spotted my .223 holes with my entry level astro-telescope: a Meade ETX 70. It has a focal length of 350mm, and with the 9mm objective that gave me about a 38x magnification as I understand the calculation.
I also have a 3X Barlow lense. That should push me up to 116X.
I.e. 3 x what I was able to see with at 100M.
Will I be able to see my hits at 300M?
What do you think?
