How high at 50
I know each gun is different and so are loads so the best way to find out is to shoot. But I have a friend that is mostly limited to only 50 yards of range. What is a good starting point for him if he wants to be 3 inches high at a 100 yards. All you guys with the experience and equipment please reply and give me input. BTW his bullet is the 300grn XTP with a 100grns of 7772f just like what I shoot. Good bullet one of the best in my opinion. Thanks you guys

That said, if you would be more specific, e.g. charge wt, bullet wt, open or scope, I give you a number at 50 yardswhich will get your friend in the "ball park" of 3" high at 100 yards.
Happy Hunting, Phil

RE: How high at 50
Forgive me Bdeather, I see you have the charge weight and bullet weight posted. I'll use a MV from sabotloader's trajectory. Seems like this _is_ his load for Elk hunting.
For scope, sightingfor 2.5 " at 50, will put you in the neighborhood of 3" at 100.
For open, sight 2.75" at 50.
Happy Hunting, Phil

I ran that particular chart for a gentleman on the east coast, hence the low elevation, In Idaho I seldom see that elevation... The chart is based on opensights on Hawken type rifle and zeroed at 100 yards as per his request.
Pglasgow's computations would really beclose when trying to to compute the heighth at 50 yards for a 3" lift @ 100.
