I think I need to draw some circles of known width and put them at 50, 75, 100, and 125 and see how much my front sight really covers.
This really might be a good idea if you are going to cover.
Another thing that helps me at longer ranges is knowing what the bullet is going to do. I'm a visual learner, so I try to shoot the ranges and actually see where the bullet strikes. Anything of any range out there beyond 125, whetherit is flat, uphill, ordownhill, I know that I need to do some compensating and then knowing the average size of the body of the animal I am shooting at, whether it be a whitetail or an elk, my mind somehow tells me what to do. It was a lot less confusing when I was hunting with the 270 or the 300 win mag - with those two flat shooters all I had to do is drop the scope on the animal and pull the trigger. Now that I hunt totally with ML's I am getting better at making those calculations.
