7MM-08, 243 ballistics

The ranges in my area are closed for lead cleanup. I found a 50 yard range the wife and I can shoot a 243 and 7mm-08 in at. My question is since I can"™t sight in for 100 yards and from what I have read if I shoot both in at 32 yards at 100 the guns will be about 2" high, at 200 yards the guns will be dead on.Dead on at 200 and 2" high is fine with me.Do any of you guys have a program that will confirm this thanks in advance for any advice you can give

I don't have a program, but I know from experience you will be as good as you can get with the 30-35 yard zero. It is where I shoot all centerfire rifles when I first mount a scope, and I never have to do more than fine-tune at 100 yards.

If you sight in exactly dead on at 50 yards,it'll be 1.5" high at 100 yards and still on at 200 yards.
