[QUOTE="baydog, post: 920889, member: 76072"] Going to chunk a few rounds through my 240 weatherby today to zero it in . It was actually cheaper to buy loaded factory weatherby ammo 100grain sp then it was to buy brass only. It was about a $5 price diffrence for a box of 20... Anyway I have shot 20 rounds through it and sighted it in accordng to weatherbys ammo ballistic chart. I'm not real comfortable with what they say and how i set the gun and left it so I'm going to do some more shooting today to get that monkey off my back. Weatherby says 2.5" high at 100 yards which I'm not to worried about but they said at 200 yards it should be 3.8" high and thats what i'm not comfortable with. I don't like the ideal of having a gun shooting about 4" high at 200 yards. I shot it at 300 yards and it is about 2"low...Probally the longest shot hunting i would have to make is 500 yards but that wouldn't be to often. More frequent shot would be 100- 300 yard shot. Think i'm going to try 1.5" to maybe 2" @ 200 and go from there. Has anybody got a 240 weatherby and what do you have your gun sighted in for?... Thanks baydog [/QUOTE]
