Holdover Chart — 5.56×45mm NATO, 50 to 300 m
Hold points every 50 m out to 300 m off a 100 m zero, with time of flight for each. Reduced to fit A4.
How to use it
- Print at 100%.
- Holds are relative to a 100 m zero with a 63 mm optic height.
- At 300 m the drop is 333 mm — a third of a metre, and more than a torso is tall at that range on paper.
- Time of flight matters on movers: 0.39 s at 300 m is a long time for the target to walk out of your hold.
