Thread: Sighting in your hunting rifle

they say a picture is worth a thousand words..... that .270 load is slow and blunt projectile.... but as shown, it does not drop below 4" off point Xhairs are looking at (black line) till 250 yards its zeroed dead on at 200 yards and also as aluded to earlier...pretty darn close to half way between 0 and 50 yards..... so,if you are sighted in for 100 yards on the button...at 30 yards you will still be low/lower as bullet is still rising...not by much but it will be rising.


thats a really old chart...from really old book,way before slippery ELDX type projectiles were around...and rangefinders were no more than a wet dream...... dialing up...yeah right....sight in at range and fire to confirm it....
things have come a LONG WAY since then..but if you were to use this as a basis for sighting in and easy no fluffing around HUNTING rifle ,life just is more simple.....
