[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3167999, member: 5412"] I've tried several different methods of sighting a centerfire rifle. Zero at 100, Point Blank method where you sight in at 4" high or so depending on your caliber, velocity, BC, and all that crap to hit the vitals out to 600 yards or so. For me, I sight in at 100 yards to zero, shoot at different ranges with my handloads, note the drop, and the notes are taped on my stock as real world results, but committed to memory before hunting whatever caliber I'm taking to the field. It's a keep it simple method, but once I find a load each of my rifles likes, I don't change. That load is locked in and will be used from now on. I'm not like some of the folks at our range in Ponca. We have a guy that is at the range daily testing loads. I get it. He likes to reload and he likes to shoot, and he has probably tried every combination of powder/bullet on earth, as a hobby. I like to shoot as well, but when I hit the sweet spot for that gun, it goes into the ledger, and move on to the next. Once you reach the end of your collection.....you know what comes next. New caliber, new testing. [/QUOTE]
