Zeroing it at 25 yards should put you about 1.5-2" high at 100. You should then be in the ballpark. However, this is only a starting point. It really depends on the ammo you use. You still need to finetune it at 100 yards. I would not hunt with a rifle that I had not fired at least a few rounds at 100 yards. Zeroing at 50 would make it about 1/2" high at 100, zero at 150 and -2.4" at 200. Assuming using 130 grain bullets.

Also, bullets don't rise in the technical sense. It starts to fall in relation to a straight line as soon as it exits the barrel. The reason it seems to rise is because the scope it higher than the barrel, therefore the barrel is pointed slightly up in relationship to the scope and the scope is pointed slightly down in relationship to the barrel. In other words the bullet does rise in relationship to a straight line of sight because the barrel is pointed above the straight line.

Hope this helps.
