It doesn't matter now as everything's done for the immediate future.

I could just never get it to take the times I tried.

I was doing at 50m from memory, maybe I should have tried 25m there too.

Oh well, next time maybe.

Yeah mate next time try 25m - so long as the first shot leaves a hole anywhere on the paper its fine, then its as I said keep the xhairs at the original POA and just dial the xhairs over to the hole, then she's ready to go bar any fine adjustment for vertical etc. :thumbsup:

It really is very quick and easy to do when its done that way.

Jays, what are you doing?? hunting plinking? what are you shootin?
if you sight in for a reasonable Maximum point blank range, you can sight in for, depending on certain things, between generally 20 to 25 m and be sighted for your MPBR of say 230 or 250m... (not 100m). this is the result of the projectile trajectory crossing the sight plane twice..once on the way up the rainbow, at 20 odd metres... and another time on the way down the other side of the rainbow at 200+m.....
Provided you know the trajectory you'll have an idea of where it is at 100m to either adjust or to use the MPBR method to always be within you 2,3 or 4 inches at any range within....

You put a clay on the bank @ 50 or 100 and take the shot then you can see if it's low and left or right and high and any centerfire rifle will leave a point of impact on the bank so you can see how far off it's shooting!!!Simple as that!!!!! :| :ugeek: :mrgreen:
