[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 364747, member: 432"] As theory goes, you would aim about 1"-2" below center at 100yds. As the bullet leaves the barrel it will be below the sight plane the instant it leaves the barrel. Then at around 50yds (depending on the distance between the barrel and the sight plane) it will converge to be dead on. As it passes 50yds it will continue to rise above the sight plane and be about 1"-2" above the sight plane at 100yds. Then as it progresses to 200yds it will start dropping back down to be dead on at 200yds. There are a lot of variables to factor in also in this calculation. Bullet weight, bullet type, powder charge, type of powder, wind, temp, barometric pressure, humidity and a host of others. Not every cartridge is the same. Precision shooters tend to pick a brass/bullet/powder/primer combo and stick with it religiously. They load every cartridge to be as identical as the ones before them to try and keep that part of the equation the same. Still, it can get complicated. [/QUOTE]
