Sighting in

[mrmiskin]

I am limited to about 50 yards when sighting in and was wondering where i should be on the paper above center to get a human kill for the following calibers out to about 150-200 yards.
223 and 30-06 also on a 50 cal muzzleloader shooting 100 grains and a 250 bullet I wont be shooting past 100 yards on that one.

Well, I'm hoping you mean humane kill . . . you had me going there for a minute.

Short answer on 30-06: 1 to 1.5" point of impact above sight @ 50 yards will give you humane kills out to 200, if you do your part and get it in the boiler room.

There's a few variables here, if you're looking for ballpark, I'd just check a ballistics table, one at link below and what they list for a 180 gr '06:

Remington Ballistics

Cartridge Type .......................50 .. 100 ... 150 ... 200
Premier® A-Frame 180 ............0.0 . zero .. -1.3 .. -4.2

But, it's always a good idea to do some shooting at 100 yards also, as well as practice from different shooting positions to improve ability, competence, and confidence!! Waidmannsheil, Dom.

OOPS yes i certainly did mean humane. thanks for the info and I will try to locate a place where i can get out to 100 yards.

Dom,
The spelling caught my attention as well ! I've been known to be a little weak on occasion. The difference one little "e" can make. Thanks for the followup mrmiskin.
