Sight in dead on at 200 and memorize where your load is at 100, 300 and 400. Dead on at 200, my 300 win mag is 3" high at 100, 7" low at 300 and 20" low at 400. Got it committed to memory. It's all small potatoes really if you are shooting at an elks chest.

If you know the approximate range of your target, you'll know exactly where to hold.

First one hit him at 425 yards, second round at 438 yards.
