sighting in a scope

Is it 1 inch or 2 inches high at 50 yards is zeroed in at 100 yards?

That will depend on the bullet your shooting. I'd start at 1" over the bull at 50 yards, then go back to 100 yards. You might still have to adjust. Rifles are funny when it comes to bullet drop, etc.

Well, you really never know because it is so dependent on so many things.

I will tell you that with a 300 grain Speer Gold Dot I am close to 2" high @ 50

Here is a 250 grain chart.... Consider this just a general chart to give you some ideals. Your results might be different.

To many variables to give you an anwser with any certainty. Only way is POI verification by shooting at the ranges and making the appropriate adjustment to obtain your desired zero.

If sighting in a fresh scope I'd start at 25 yards so yourtouching the top of the bull, then try 50 and finally 100 for fine tuning. If just checking POI or new load 1" high at 50 should put you in the ballpark for fine tuning at 100.
