Reading the tables is fine,but I never bother myself....the only way to accurately answer your question is to actually shoot the distances involved.There really is no substitute,because you don't know the actual speed of the loads,and frequently factory ammo and handloads,too,come in slower than expected.

For me, a 270 zeroed 3" high at 100 yards impacts about 3.5" high at 200,and about 3-4 low at 300;at 400 yards the load is down about 12-14".

I use the same sight settings in the brush and don't worry or think much about it for shots under 100 yards;I simply hold for cenetr of the chest and kill them.You are only about 1" high at 50 yards;not one guy in 100 can hold that tight,off hand,on the real world of heavy cover hunting.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
