    The rule of three.is on here I've posted it before,not home at computer so can't do it now. Basically it's like this.if you can picture if you will a dead straight pipe 8" in diameter between you and what you want to hit. You sight in so at NO TIME will your projectile hit side of pipe.for most cartridges it works out about 2_3" high at hundy.will be at peak height before 200 and again dead on between 2_300 with the point it hits bottom of your 'pipe' being your maximum point n shoot distance. Easy with .270 as ends up dead on again around 270 yards n drops too low 325ish. Play on ballistic app with what you know n best guess of the rest to find what sight setting suits you best.www.huntingnut has one.side bar to left on main page.pountblank online. Plurry good free way to do it.
