    Help Sighting In?


    Not sure if this is correct forum, but seemed like a good place to start.

    Sighting in 308. Question I have is if I am on at 50 yards where would I be hitting at 100 yards?

    Thanks for your help

    1" to 2" high? Assuming you have 1.5" for the scope center over the bore. I've never tried a 50 yard zero, though.

    PS - According to Nikon Spot On you'd be 2.49" high with a Federal 165 gr BTSP w/2700 fps muzzle velocity. Your results may vary.

    Consider a 200 zero. 1.75 high at 50, 2@100, 1.8@150, on @200, -3.5@250. Gives you an easy tunnel for deer size game 0-250

    What scope? What round? What type of reticle? center of turret to center of bore measurement?

    Advice above isn't wrong, but I feel I'd be more honest on the subject with more info.

    AND, that could all vary as a result of where you were actually pointing the thing when it went off. lol
