If it is high at 100 yards, it crossed line of sight somewhere between the muzzle and 100 yards (near zero) and then fell back down to line of sight again (far zero)


Yup.....I just didn't think I needed to mention that it ALSO crossed the line of site before 100yds:neener:

What you said was incorrect.

It crosses before 171 yards.

Sight in at 3" high at 100yds

the round (158 gr jsp s&b) doesn't cross the line of sight until it crosses 171 yards.....i.e it's a dead on hold. It's only a little low at 200yds .Most people are surprised by how flat the .357 from a rifle can shoot, relatively speaking. Also Your not really getting down to handgun velocity until about 150 yards ( and most people will tell you the .357 from a HANDGUN is suitable for whitetail to at least fifty yards) , IIRC, from my own chrony work. Personally I wouldn't hestitate to take deer at that range(170yds)........as always though if you can't land your rounds in the right spot........ I personally get 2.25" groups (from a rest with aperature sights, s&b ammo) with my 1894c at 100yds, a scope might improve that a bit.

With the new pointed flex tip ammo it's shooting much flatter. With the Buffalo bore heavy stuff I wouldn't hesitate to use it on elk at shorter ranges (under 100 yds)
