before all of you westerners laugh i live in vermont and grew up in massachusetts.so long range shooting has been a non issue.
they say its wrong to sight in at fifty because you will be high at 100.but 55,65 yds is an average shot where i hunt.but if i got a shot at 100 or 150
how high would i be?
they say if you sight in a flat shooting rifle getting about 2,800fps second at 25 yards you will be dead even at 250.
but how high would you be in the inbetween distances
they say if you sight in an inch and 1/2 high at 100 you will be 3 inches low at 300.
is that true?
i am shooting a 6.5-55 SE using 120,130,140 gr bullets depending.but why dont we say the 120gr because that is what i use for deer.bear and moose are always inside 75 yards anyway
i moved last year and my old rifle range is now an hour a away and im not going to renew my membership there.and i dont shoot long ranges much anyway.this year i may just go into the woods a sight in at 25 or 50 yards.
last black bear season i saw a doe about 300 yards away.it was a doe and is was not even deer season but it shows in the east you may stumble on the ocational long shot.
