Was looking for helping how to make and put dope chart together for my 22 cal RWS 460 Diana .
making dope chart for 22 cal RWS
- Thread starter sringer1969

Down load Chairgun from Hawke scopes and put your details in and you will be sorted .Or if you want something for your phone Strelok Pro is very good and you can load air rifles centre fire rifles and switch between rifles as you need .

I went through a similar exercise recently and not to take anything away from using software, but methodical shooting is more fun 
I set up targets at 10 yard intervals (10 to 60 yards) and each target had two aim points on it. I would aim directly at the left target at each distance and shoot anywhere from 3 to 5 pellets to get a good estimate of where the pellets were hitting. I would then use the right target to help me gauge the appropriate amount of holdover or holdunder.
I had a printout of my reticle so I could just write down what adjustment was needed. From there I could shrink the reticle print to fit inside my scope cap or I could make a 3x5 card out of it.
All-in-all a super fun time! BTW, I found that my zeros were at 13 and 50 yards. (The 40 yard pic above is just a sample image and not from my final testing...)

Second that. I've used Chairgun and have recently very tempted to fork-over the $12 bucks for Strelok, but the shooting at 10's method sounds like much more fun. I've got a new-to-me gun arriving tomorrow will need to be learned, and the 10s will be the first method followed-up by Chairgun/Strelok to make sure the theory matches reality.

One thing to remember is the scope magnification only works on one setting to produce a true mildot size measurement i.e 10x / 20x magnification this is not a problem though as the relationship with magnification and mildot change i.e 6x or 8x the range holdover change as its a different ratio.
The target should be ranged on the magnification the mildots are a true measurement using the parallex adjuster to gain focus , then shoot the target on the magnification the dope chart has been set up to . And the mildot is true to that magnification and the chart .
On Chairgun using the scope cap viewing , put in your details and you get a ballistic table then using the mag settting you can see the relationship change as you watch the recticle size change .
Basically remember to shoot on the mag that you have set your chart / recticle up to , you can get smart later …………….
