What distance to sight in???
I hunt in central Maryland in mixed terrain. I can find myself in dense hardwoods or on the edge of a crop field. I am shooting a .50 cal Black Diamond using Powerbelt 245 gr. bullets and 80 grs of 777. My gun club has target berms at 50-100-200-300 yards. What distance do you suggest that I sight in for (zero) in order to have the most opportunities in the field?
In the past I have sighted in at 50 yards but I do not like having to estimate hold over at longer ranges. When I sight in at 100 yds I worry about shooting over a deer that appears at 30 yards. Your advice-experience is welcome and appreciated.
