    This is an image of a very basic one I have used with the information listed in the above posts. It may vary in 'real life' but should be pretty close.

    With your zero being 2 inches above zero at 100m you will find that you projectile starts its travel 1.7 inches below zero at the muzzle, will rise until it peaks at a little over 2 inches high at about 125m then drops to pass through your zero just after 200m and dropping a further 3 inches at 250m.

    Essentially if you draw a 5 inch vertical line on a piece of target and a horizontal line 2 inches from the top of that line to form across and aim perfectly at that, it should hit that line as long as you are within 250m from it. (I doubt that there are many that are able to that accurately though) but with a hillar zone on a deer being about 12 inches you could aim at the centre of that and it wont matter how far that animal is as long as it is less that 250m you should hit it within 3 inches from centre plus your level of accuracy ). If you are capable of 2 moa accuracy with that rifle then add 2 inches up and 2 inches down at 200m for your group size
