I sight my rifles in at 13 yards. At that distance you will shoot a ragged hole. If not, then the load you are shooting is not right for the gun or your sights need to be checked. You waste less ammo and there is no room for error at that distance. You should be on paper somewhere there.

If you are shooting a hole at that distance, make sure it is dead center in the bulls eye. Once you have that run it out to 50 yards. Normally it will be about two inches high. Move it to 75 yards and it will be real close. At 100 yards it should hit with in an inch of the bulls eye most of the time.

I like to refine my shooting at 50 yards though before I move back. Then decide what distance you WANT the rifle sighted in for, and go to that distance and make it sweet.
