Thread: Shooting at Medium Range

Greetings All,
There have been a few threads recently dealing with long range shooting. Although I have not shot at anything much over 200m I found the posts interesting and learned a thing or two as well. This got me thinking about how people deal with medium range shots? These would be those beyond the point blank range of your rifle, scope and cartridge set up out to about 400m.
For those not familiar with point blank range and its other names it is the range at which the projectile neither rises above nor falls below the line of sight by a maximum of 50mm. For most hunting rifles this very roughly 250m when sighted in at 180 to 200m.
My primary and alas little used hunting rifle is a Tikka T3 in 6.5x55mm with a Leupold 6 power long range duplex scope. The load is the 129 grain Hornady SST at 2,850 fps and is zeroed dead on at 200m. Using the trajectory from the Hornady on line tool corrected ranges for the hash marks have been calculated and also enough deer body bracketing data to tell me when the shot is likely to far for a point blank shot. If it is it is time to reach for the rangefinder. This last is important as there is a tendency to aim over the deer when it looks a long way and over the deer is often where the shot goes.
So the question is "What other methods are people using for those medium range shots"?
