I had a small issue and was forced to re zero my rifle. The max distance I had was 66 yds which in maine is about as far as I've ever really killed a deer anyhow for the most part. Now I'm sighted in an inch high at 66yds. Any estimates as to where ide be at 100/150/200? Obviously range time would quickly answer this but I don't know when/where I'll get to a place to do so. Thanks in advance!

Here's the details:
.35 Whelen
225 gr woodleigh RN
2575fps

You could reverse engineer this using a free online ballistics calculator. I'm too busy to do it for you right now.

My sources show a BC of 0.26 for that bullet.

That should give you a 160 yd zero.

1.4" H @ 100 yds

2.5" L @ 200 yds

Thank you MM! Sounds like I'm just about perfect for what I am doing. I'll shoot it as soon as I can to confirm also.

If your scope is 1.5" above bore.
Your 700' above sea level and average 40° temps.
You should be dead on @ 152 yards.
2" low at 186
6" at 233.

This should be pretty close.
