Visualizing your zero isn’t always something easy to do. At the high nerd level you’re takingphysical measurements, breaking out a pen and paper, and busting out some calculations—andall of that is AOK, especially so for precision shooting. Most of the population, at least the onesthat pay some attention to where their bullets go instead of dirt-shooting, will either look at achart or a pre-fabricated table.
Justin Coulter of Arma Dynamics, a training outfit in Indiana, crafted some visualizations andposted them to the forum M4carbine.net. They can be an effective tool for demonstration andreference. Instead of a graph, Justin superimposed point of impacts relative to zero at assorted
ranges, and did so with a variety of common AR-15 barrel lengths and 5.56 loads. To include:10.5”, 14.5”, 16”, and 18” barrels with 55gr M193, 62gr M855, and 77gr Mk262Here are some examples (the full array can be viewed here)

Your zero is an ever-changing thing, and is subject to temperature change, elevation, humidity,and other atmospheric conditions (let alone the general physical bumps and drops along theway). You can use these as a quick reference or compliment to your ballistic charts for a goodstart. Remember to go out on the range and test it for yourself. As the proverb goes “Доверяй,но проверяй” (Imagine Ronald Reagan saying, “Trust, but verify”)
These aren’t the only visualizations we’ve come across, but the standard IPSC target may bemore relevant to your needs than say, a scaled Cookie Monster in a desert. As always, yourmileage may vary.
There’s also a ‘He-Man on Mars’ version of this

Joshua Ford you should wear a bump helmet of some sort so you don't bruise your forehead when youlean in to lick the window. That's not our article, we're sharing something we found. Of course you prob'lyknew that, since you'd undoubtedly have read it before posting something ill-advised and borderlinemoronic, right? Nah. You're probably just joshing around with us or trolling, otherwise you'd be seen as anincompoop, so ha ha! Well played! You got us! Enjoy that GREAT READ! DR
