IndyHunter308,
If you used Remington's 130gr. pointed soft point Corelokts and zeroed at 150 yards, that would be a good trade off. You would be about dead on at 50 yards and 9 1/2" low at 300 yards. You'll be about 2" low at 200 and 5" low at 250.
Now if you study up on MPBR, ie, maximum point blank range, that'll show you how to sight in your rifle so that you don't need to do any real figuring once you see your deer. Your .270 is ideal for this since it's a more flatter shooting caliber, especially using a lighter 130gr. bullet. This means you have a longer overall range where your bullet's path will be only a short distance high and low from the line of sight. You sight in for your maximum range where your bullet will never be too far off from target center. It's a good way sight in if you like because then you can just aim and shoot. You will only be a few inches high or low from center depending on high close or far your target is.
Hope I didn't confuse you. LOL! Take care and good luck out there. Nice caliber by the way.

I here yah there brother. It actually sounds much more complicated than what it is. I too like to sight in at 100 yards, then go the range and know how low my shots are landing at certain yardages.(200, 250, 300) I can make a dope chart, but since my main gun is for 300 yards, I can do the 100 yarder. I just aim higher accordingly. (granted I'd rather just dial, range, wind and click. LOL!)
