Haven't shot it scene muzzelloading deer last year. That is one shot at 100 yards it was what it was zeroed at last year and was dead on at 300 yards. I shot it the one time today and said it is time to quit.

I usually leave one loaded and fire it to check my zero before season opener. That's hard to beat.

What load are you shooting?

Good shooting. What grain bullet and MV to get 2" high at 100 and dead on at 300?

Same here. I'm kind of getting tired of wasting that bullet every October as POI has not shifted since I set it years ago. Of course, I check it at 100 yards and rarely shoot over 150 yards. CVA Scout V2 smokeless .45 at 2600 fps with 200 grain bullet.

using Arrowheads load and bullet 275 gr., XLD bc= 0.33 60gr of H4198, CCI 25 Large rifle Magnum primer 2575 FPS It workers for me.

With listed weight, bc, and mv, it would be 2" high at 100, dead on at 200, 10" low at 300.

Exactly why I inquired. The 2" high at 100, yet dead on at 300 had me scratching my head. My .270 doesn't even shoot that flat.

You could be right I was just thinking back to last year and sometime old memories fail. but I bet it is close enough.

My CVA Apex conversion with 195hr Barnes, 60gr N120 100yd zero is about 24" low at 300yds. If memory serves me well. Now that I have it figured out I just Dail N Shoot.

Should be around 18" at the 2600fps I used for calculation. That 200sst has a bc well under .3
