I took my 14 year old son out to the range with me yesterday, to sight in a few scopes. We started off at 25 yds and then moved out to 100Yards. When we were satisfied that I was close enough at 100 yards I raised POI about 2 inches and moved over to the 200 yard lane. I shot there and this was the first time I have ever hit the 100 yard paper target at 200 yards. Then I raised POI 2 more inches and moved to the 300 yard lane. I took 5 shots at a new 100 yard paper target and guess what? I hit all 5 shots. All shots were about 7" low but they were all on the paper! The wind was coming in from 2 O'clock at between 5 and 12 mph and I still hit the paper! Woo Hoo!
When I was done there, I went back to the 100 yard lane. I shot and hit about 3 inches high. This is what I was expecting. Now to get the extra height needed for a better hit on 300 next time I am going to set it at 5 inches high at 100 and it should be just about right. Don't you think?
I was shooting 150Gr Remington Core Lokt 30.06 using my M1917 Remington sporterized rifle. It has a 20" barrel, a 4-16X40 Center Point scope and a Limbsaver slip on butt pad.
I will need to play with the windage too but heck, I hit it!
