Im a member of my local Rod&Gun club so i shoot probably a dozen times in the spring,summer and fall or more. Basic setup is starting with my old fashioned bore sighter,which only puts you on the target somewhere at 25 yds in conjunction with a simple program i downloaded from remington called remington shoot. Are the boresight and program foolproof? no but it sure saves alot of ammo getting on paper at the range. I choose prior what gr ammo and stick to it while hunting,when i test the latest and greatest i do not change my zero until i see how they group,then if i like alot or any improvement over my last favorite,then i change scope settings. Simple system that has worked for me for yrs. All this being said about the latest and greatest alot of game has fallen to remington core-lokt and winchester super x,not target or varmit ammo but real good on deer,elk,etc. I always start at 25 yds to get my ammo centered referring to the rem shoot program, (based on cal)move to 50 and 75 yd to finally 100 yds usually setting my rifle at 2 to 3 inches high at 100 as close to dead center as possiable with said rifle. Have done this with everything from .243 to a .416 rigby (for some one else). Its real funny watching someone at the range cussin up a storm cause he cant get his new rifle on paper after 3 boxes of 20 rds. A little research goes a long ways, and practice of course.
