Shamu... as always, thank you. I sight my .303's, regardless of bullet weight, at 2" high @ 100 yds. I have a 'zero point" graph, so know roughly where the bullet will hit a 10" vital zone and the yardage. Example, if my 150's are sighted in at 2" high @ 100, I believe I can aim dead on at approx 225 yds and still be in that kill zone. 180's probably 200 yds. I used to put them 4" high @ 100 yds while sighting in, which stretches that "zero point" approx another 40 yds, but found I was hitting whitetail high up. Not in the lungs, but in the spine. Ruining top quality meat.
