| 535.1 | And here's the answer | BAGELS::MONDOU | | Fri Nov 03 1989 13:13 | 12 |
| According to my Remington catalog:
With the rifle sighted in at 150 yards and using 130 gr. Pointed
Soft Point Core-Lokt, from a 24" barrel:
50 yards 0.5
100 yards 0.8
150 yards 0.0
200 yards -2.0
250 yards -5.5
300 yards -10.4
|
| 535.2 | According to Federal | SALEM::MACGREGOR | I'm the NRA/GONH/NAHC | Fri Nov 03 1989 13:36 | 15 |
| according to federal:
sighted in for 100 yds. sighted in for 200 yds.
50 yds. -0.2" 50 yds. +0.5"
100 yds. 0.0" 100 yds. +1.5"
200 yds. -2.9" 200 yds. 0.0"
300 yds. -11.2" 300 yds. -6.8"
400 yds. -20.0"
500 yds. -41.1"
This is for supposedly ideal conditions which are 59 degrees F,
barometric pressure of 29.53 inches and at sea level. Also with
a 24 inch barrell. Good shooting.

.0 what ammunition are you using?

| 535.6 | point blank range | MAIL::HENSON | | Fri Nov 03 1989 13:57 | 22 |
| Kevin,
I've been shooting a .270 for about 13 years and I always sight
my rifle to shoot 1" high at 100 yds. The problem with sighting
in at 150 or 200 is finding a range. With this sighting, I've
killed deer from 20 ft to 300 yds. I hold at the top of the
back for the 300 yd. shots.
Jack O'Connor advocated sighting in ANY rifle to shoot 3" high
at 100 yds. This is to give you an effective point blank range
of somewhat more than 100 yds (depends on your cartridge). If
you sight in your .270 to shoot 3" high at 100 yds, you will
probably not shoot more than 5 inches high or low at ranges from
0 to 350 yds. This will allow you to hold in the middle of the
kill area and hit it at any range out to 300 yds (assuming 10"
kill area).
Guns and Ammo (I think) has a magazine out devoted entirely to
deer rifles. There are several excellent articles about bullet
trajectory.

| KEVIN,
Ditto what Jerry just said...
After reading all of Jack O'Connors writings, it makes perfect sense to
sight in this way, therefore your never more or less than 4" from the
line of sight all the way out to 325 yards, with a hold on the edge of
the back at 400 yds still giving you a hit into the vitals. makes it
easier to remember also...
I have mine sighted in for:
BORE 25yds 100 yds 150yds 200yds 275yds 300yds 325yds 375yds
-2 0 +3" +4" +4" 0 -2" -4" -7"
i'm handloading 130gr sierra spitzer boattails to 3100 fps.
good luck, fra

| 535.8 | sight in at 50 yards | SALEM::MACGREGOR | I'm the NRA/GONH/NAHC | Fri Nov 03 1989 14:19 | 6 |
| .6 I know the problem of finding a range long enough to sight in
at long distances thats why I will find out where the placement
will be high at 50 yards and sight it in for that, such as 1 or
2 inches high at 50 yards. Depending on what the shooter is sighting
in at. Good shooting................................................

| 535.9 | Fed. Premium... | BTOVT::REMILLARD_K | | Fri Nov 03 1989 14:37 | 7 |

I'm using Federal Premium, 130 gr. soft point, boat tails..., again
thanks for all the replys, they have been printed and will be with
me at the range this weekend...
Kevin

| 535.10 | Boattails are slightly different | SALEM::MACGREGOR | I'm the NRA/GONH/NAHC | Fri Nov 03 1989 14:53 | 15 |
| Mr. Remillard, the ballistics are just a bit different for boat
tails.
sighted for 100 yds. sighted for 200 yds.
50 -0.2" 50 +0.5"
100 0.0" 100 +1.4"
200 -2.8" 200 0.0"
300 -10.7" 300 -6.5"
400 -19.0"
500 -38.5"
This also according to Federal but their Premium Ammunition that
you will be using along with all of the same variables that I had
mentioned in a previous reply. Again Good Shooting. Bret

Hey Kevin, I like 18 to 20 yard shots myself :')
You just better make sure you can hit at 12 yards!!!!!!
I don't want to hear any more of those "miss" stories.
good luck, Rob

| 535.12 | spine, yup | SKIVT::WENER | | Tue Nov 07 1989 06:36 | 7 |
|
Low at 12 yards, that should get you a spine
for sure -
see ya and good luck again!
|
| 535.13 | give me the 150 gr. thank you | BTOVT::ALEXANDER | | Tue Nov 07 1989 16:09 | 6 |
| Kevin, I have used my .270 for almost 17 years now and I have used only
the 150 gr shells. My uncle tried the 130 gr one year and he said he
was very unimpressed with them (claims they either blow up or are
thrown off course by brush). I am very happy with the 150 gr. and
sight in at 25 yds, thus putting a shot at 100 yds so damn close it
dosen't matter to me.
