Default 270 Sighting in

After doing a little bit more adjusting i have my 270 shooting about 1 inch high at about 60 yards. Where i am hunting my long shots will be about 150 yards. Will this be accurate enough for my situation?

Default RE: 270 Sighting in

I have always had good luck with an inch high at 100 yards. In that case, if your long goes about 150, a shot at 150 should drop in pretty nicely without aiming high. Another option would be to shoot a heavier bullet, a heavier bullet would stay flatter in short and still carry well to 150 yards

1" high at 50-60yds. is probably a little high at this range (should be about 1/2"), but you should be okay for shots to 150yds.
Every rifle/load is different, but when I sight my 270Win. 1/2" high at 50yds., then she's
a little over 2" high at 100yds.
