50 yds. - 2.853 inches high
100 yds- 5.984 inches high
at 200 yards, it will peak out at 8.332 inches high.
at 350 yards it will be dead on.
With that load, to be 12 inches high at 100 yards, you would be need to sight in to be aprox. 2.111 inches high at 25 yards.
That makes sense and is in the ball park of where I thought it would be with a zero at 350. That 06 bullet will be losing a bunch of steam by that time though. I doubt that I would want to punch much more than some paper or a milk jug at that distance. Topgun I don't think you are missing anything. I think you are talking the same thing as CD just pointed out.
