If you zero a .30-06 with a normal load of a 165-gr bullet at 25 yards with iron signts, it will be on again at 150 yards and about 2.25 inches low at 200.
If you zero the scope, set 1.5 inches high, at 25 yards, you will be about 2.25 inches high at 100 yards and on again about 215 yards.
I ain't guessing here, folks.
I have been doing this for more than 45 years.
Lots of my rifles are set up with iron sights and scope sights.
Now.. somebody please define to me WHAT THE HECK IS A NORMAL LOAD WITH 165GR BULLETS???
Seems there's about a 500fps range between starting and max loads for 165gr bullets out of a 30-06... so who defined normal? And I'm thrilled to hear that BC doesn't matter any more. Whew, that's a relief. Guess Lee is one of those guys at public sight in days who shows up with a mixed box of ammo from different manufacturers but knows he's set for long range shooting because they're all the same weight.
