  Texan308-- There is not enough detail to give an answer, such as caliber, metallic or scope sights, etc. One has to assume by your name that the bullet diameter is 308.
  
  Indoor ranges are a poor place to sight in hunting rifles with metallic sights. The lighting is totally different from what you will experience in the field.

  Texan308-- Please note I edited my first reply. After seeing it in print, it looked "snippy" and came across not in the spirit I intended. If you are offended, please accept my apologies.
  
  But on your evdevors of a 25 yard sight-in, I don't think I ever saw any data showing what you are looking for. I do know a lot of guys (me included) who zero their rifles at 100 or 200 yards, then they shoot at 25 yards to see where the point of impact is.
  
  Maybe someone else will have some data they might share with you. I will watch this post because you now have my interest.
  
  Good luck,
  Rafter-S
