Yet another 52 question...

With 2.7 gr WST my 52-2 hits dead center in the 10 ring on an indoor slow fire target. I shot it at 50 yards yesterday and it made a decent group but it was waaaay low. Is there really that much bullet drop? How many clicks do you guys do indoor to outdoor.....

5 clicks adjustment from long to short line using 2.8 bullseye and 148 gr Zero hbwc.

Thanks AllAces. Do you know what one click = in inches at 50 yards?

No experience with the 52 but my 5" 41 is about 1/2" per click at 50 yds.

Not that I hold nearly well enough to tell but that's what the math works out to with an 80 tpi elevation screw, 6 clicks per revolution and an 8" sight radius.
YMMV

Roughly calculated many years ago, a .45  at 850 fps drops about 6 inches.  How fast is your 52 bullet traveling?

Oh, forgot, my M52 has an Ultradot.  If I recall correctly, Ransom Rest testing of this setup showed about a 3" drop between 25 and 50 yards.

I wish I had access to a ransom rest. I'm sure some of the drop is me going from a poorly lit indoor range to what I think is perfect lighting at 1pm outdoors. I've never seen the front sight as well indoors. I was thinking about 4 " from 50 ft to 50 yards. Seems like a lot but I guess not. I have no idea how fast its going, but I'm guessing on the slow side.
