Huh Yes, I congratulated him on getting a new scope, but I'm not sure what you meant to say.

I sight in all of mine at 25 yards. dead on for longer range and 1 inch low for my woods rifles.
When I am finished I shoot at 50, 75, 100, etc. write down the elevation at each yardage for future refference. Sighting in at 25 helps your accuracy because I can see the difference between dead on and 1/4 inch to the side.

Dead on at 25yds is on at 250 but it's too high at 100. I have always sighted mine in an inch low at 25.

Same here. My every day rifle is set low at 25 and can do good head shots.

I've heard that one inch high at 25 is dead on at 100. 50% of the time I've found it to work everytime.

Dead on at 25 yards will be 2" high at 100. Approximately. Gets you close anyway.

Try this...Good luck, Basically, if you are on at 50yds you are 0 at 150yds. Also, get trigger jobs, it works wonders for me.

I 2nd nikon spot on app or website. I always use that to get my ballistics as soon as I get a new gun. I keep the ballistics in my "notes" app on my phone incase I forget. It's especially important when using my 300 blackout because of how much the bullet drops past 150 yards.
