Sighting in?

[A.K.A.]

Range for my MZ is 200yd. I'm not really planning on shooting that far. Got a 4x red dot on it. What range should I sight it in for?

Thanks. That sounds like what I use. 100 gr powder for sure. 150 is max for my gun. You mean that the bullit will drop 6 more inches at 200?

Yep.

How far do you expect your "probable" shots to be?

Yep.

Yep, they drop like rocks after about 150 yards. Mine is 2.5 inches up at 100, dead on at 165, and 5 inches low at 200....and that's with a pointed bullet...the 250 Hornady SST.

What is the MOA of the dot? Meaning how much aread does the dot cover at 100 yds. Most are 3 MOA which means it covers 3 in at 100 yds. That makes long range precision shooting with red dot difficult.

I have no idea. That is an important point. I doubt I would shoot that far unless I see the buck of a lifetime that I may never see again.

OK 100 gs powder. 260gr hollow point. Dead on at 50yds. 4" drop at 100yds. That sound about right?
