Sighted in at 25 yards?

[DoubleHH]

Ok iam shooting Breneke sabots, and did make it to the range but only got to use the 25 yard range, and iam dead center to maybe .5" high, So where will that put me at 50 yards and 100 yards?

Sorry!ALLguns are individuals!!YOU WILL HAVE TO ACTUALLY SHOOT YOUR GUN AT THESE DISTANCES TO KNOW!! NO-ONE CAN TELL YOU AND HAVE ANY ASSURANCE OF BEING RIGHT!! Anything we say based on the information you have presented will be a GUESS ONLY!!

Now, someone might come on here and tell you something, but actually they have no more way of knowing the answers as you or I do. Do yourself a favor, and shoot it at 50, 75, and100 yards. Better to find out on paper than to miss a big buck!

You need to sight it in at around 50 yards then out to 100 yards in my opinion......I doubt very much if your going to be shooting a lot of deer at 25 yards!What brand and caliber gun are you shooting...?


I have sighted my 30-06,the .243 and the .270 WSM allout to100 yards.

He's talking about rifled shotgun slugs.

Wherever it hits at 50 or 100 yards. This may seem like a flip answer, but it's honestly the best answer anyone can honestly give you. There is only one way to know where it'll hit and that's to do what has already been suggested and shoot it at those ranges. Sounds like you have an excuse to make another trip to the range.

To emphasize the absolute need to sight in, my Savage .30-06 groups 150gr Winchester Power Points 4" higher and 6" left of Federal 150gr Fusions. Why, I have no idea, but the groups are good with both ammo types (outstanding with the Winchesters). If I had sighted in with the Winchesters (for which my rifle is zeroed), and just decided to switch to the same weight Fusions assumeing that they'd shoot to the same POI because they are the same weight and published velocity, it is highly likely that any deer I shot at would be non-fatally wounded or (hopefully) completely missed.

Best to sight in and be SURE. You owe it to the animal and your fellow hunters to exercise due dilligence before you hunt.

Good Luck,

Mike

The only way you can find out, is to shoot it at 100 yards. All guns are different!
