Hello everyone. I just want to start by saying that I have been reading this forum for a while now but I don't make any posts so I guess you could say I'm new.
This past spring I decided it was time to get serious about my ML. After, some bad experiences in the past (mostly due to bad advice) I decided to start from a clean slate. Thats when I found this forum. Man I've learned alot since then.
Anyway, Ihadzeroed in the new omega at 50yds and decided to see how much it dropped at 100. First shot was actually 2"s high. I thought "this can't be right" so I shot again. Same thing. About 1.5"s to the right but it was still 2"s high. Is the bullet still rising at 100yds or do I have a problem?
I was shooting a .452 250gr gold dot, 2 50gr 777 pellets, knight high pressure sabots, and win 777 primers.
Many of us use the 3" over method of sight in. Sight in any MLer rifle 3" high at 100 yards and you will be withing a kill zone of 6" form 0 to 170 yards with about any bullet. With CF rifles like a 270 or a 30-06 you will be good to go froom 0 to 250 yards. The distance of 170 yards for MLer is call MPBR (Maximum Point Blank Range). The theory is that a deer's vitals are 9"-12" and your shooting thru a 6" pipe from 0 to 170, plenty of accuracy to get into a 12" pie plate.
Best Wishes with your new rifle,
Chap Gleason
