That would be interesting. I have sighted in at 13 yards to get on paper and work a load, but never would I take it for granted of the rest without spending the range time.
I have a hunch that Dave wouldn't take for granted the rest either. For the record, I always calculate the distance to initial cross over of line of sight and begin sighting there. I just like to do it that way. From thereI move out and there are always has been additional adjustments.
I like helping others to sight in their rifles for the first time. And while I haven't helped anyone sight in a muzzleloader, I have helped with many centerfire and rimfires, not to mention my own and my muzzleloaders.The same thing applies to all rifles. Yourdistance with game is no farther than your practice at the range.
Happy Hunting, Phil
