Well, I'm ready to sight in my Omega with 100 grs of Pryodex pellets, TC Super Mag 300 gr XTP sabots. I dont have access to a 100 yd range. So I'll be shooting at 50 yds. I was wondering how high at 50 yds the group should be to be "on" at 100 yards? Years ago when I had a Knight, the general rule was 1.5 inches highat 50 and didnt have any problems killing deer at 100 yds. But after doing alittlescearhing on here,I seem to be reading that guys are hitting 1 inch,some 2 inch high.Was wondering what the general rule was with 100 grs and 300 gr bullet? Thanks

The general rule still holds true for the most part.. 1-1/2 to 2 inches at 50 yards will normally put you on the bull at 100 yards. It is advised that if possible to at least check the rifle out at 100 yards. I have seen a bullet onat 50 yards makes some dramatic changes out at 100 yards. Good luck with your rifle.

Thanks Cayunad, Yes I've read that some bullets continue to rise past at 100 yds. Hopefully shooting 300 grs, it will be close @ 100yds

Here is a Ballistic sheet that should be pretty close to your needs. This is for a zero of 100 yards....

I normally sight my ML's in @ about 2.5" high that lets me shoot out to about 140 yards to zero

Thanks guys. I'm gonna do some shooting tomorrow with the Omega for the first time. I'll let you know how its goes with the 300 gr XTP's

3" AT 50 SHOULD BE O.K. TO A 125 YARDS
BUT I SEEN BULLET TACK DRIVE AT 50 YARDS AND GO CRAZY AT THE 100 YD GROUP

I sighted mine in tonight at 1.5 high at 50 yds.Did the same last year shot a doe at 105yds put the crosshairs where I wanted and that was where it hit.

Bake North, Just wondering..............were you using 300 gr bullets? Was thinking about gonig with 1.5 inches high myself. Seemed to work great years ago when I shot 300 grs out of a Knight

i would follow the ballistics chart and be .70 at 25 yrds. this will make it easier to get the tighter pattern and you won't have to do as much walking it will also be easier with the spoting scope. But remember if you do it at 25yrds with a 1/4 moa you will have to multiply the clicks by 4. IF you do it at 50 i believe it is 3 times the amout of clicks

There is no substitute for actually practicing shots at hunting ranges. Charts can be misleading. If you are going to try 125 yard shots, practice at that distance.
