sight in at range
Hi people,
Here's a good one. If you don't have a range to shoot out to 200 or 300 yards, what would be the next best thing to do? We have a 100 yard range thats easy to get to. Any tricks will be great. will ballistics tell us what to aim for?
Thanks,

A very tight 5 shot group 2.5" above bullseye will get you close depending on the caliber. 0 -
Here is a chart...

What caliber? IRRC, with my 300WM, 2" high at 100 puts me right on at 200 and 3" low at 300. Theoretically, if I have a 5" target zone, I should be able to put the crosshairs on the target and it should be within that zone out the 300yds. 0 -

Just check any ballistic chart for your round and compensate accordingly.
As mentioned, for many typical rifle rounds, 2 - 2.5" high at 100 yards will put you dead on at 200 yards.0 -
The JBM ballistics calculators are some of the best, IMO. If you can chronograph your rounds to obtain muzzle velocity, or evev if you hand load and can use velocities from loading manuals, this is the way to go.

Otherwise, ask others for estimates based on their experience with caliber, etc. That should get you within minute-or-dinner-plate....0
