Ok iam shooting Breneke sabots, and did make it to the range but only got to use the 25 yard range, and iam dead center to maybe .5" high, So where will that put me at 50 yards and 100 yards?

Now, someone might come on here and tell you something, but actually they have no more way of knowing the answers as you or I do. Do yourself a favor, and shoot it at 50, 75, and100 yards. Better to find out on paper than to miss a big buck!

You need to sight it in at around 50 yards then out to 100 yards in my opinion......I doubt very much if your going to be shooting a lot of deer at 25 yards!What brand and caliber gun are you shooting...?
I have sighted my 30-06,the .243 and the .270 WSM allout to100 yards.

To emphasize the absolute need to sight in, my Savage .30-06 groups 150gr Winchester Power Points 4" higher and 6" left of Federal 150gr Fusions. Why, I have no idea, but the groups are good with both ammo types (outstanding with the Winchesters). If I had sighted in with the Winchesters (for which my rifle is zeroed), and just decided to switch to the same weight Fusions assumeing that they'd shoot to the same POI because they are the same weight and published velocity, it is highly likely that any deer I shot at would be non-fatally wounded or (hopefully) completely missed.
Best to sight in and be SURE. You owe it to the animal and your fellow hunters to exercise due dilligence before you hunt.
Good Luck,
Mike
