Therefore, MAXIMUM Point-Blank Range is the farthest distance one can expect to hit their target while maintaining a ‘dead hold’ on the center of the target. This means your reticle could be covering exactly where you want to hit the target, but the actual point of impact will be either higher or lower than the reticle depending on the distance. Remembering that when you fire a bullet our of your rifle, the bullet rises and then falls through your line of sight because the rifle optic is higher than the centerline of the barrel. Point Blank Range is the range at which you don’t need to ‘aim high’ or ‘aim low’ in order to hit your target. MPBR is not a set standard of range, but rather a methodology used to determine a single ‘hold’ which will allow the operator to make hits on target all the way from the muzzle out to the end of the rifle’s point-blank range. So, what do we do?Įnter Maximum Point-Blank Range, or MPBR. Due to the massive popularity of the AR-15 platform is it highly likely that YOUR setup is not the same as the ‘vanilla standard’ rifle used to develop the 50 / 200 method. While this is true in some cases, this thought process is a ‘catch-all’ generalization that does not factor in barrel length, cartridge type, projectile weight, optic style, and many other factors that make each carbine unique to the user operating the weapon system. Often, the question is asked: what is the best way to zero a rifle for short range work?įor a long time, conventional wisdom has suggested that the 50 / 200 yard zero is the most useful for the modern AR-15 rifle as the 5.56x45mm cartridge remains relatively flat across this distance.
