[QUOTE="lynn, post: 11151, member: 1479"] 1894 As you didn't list the bullets weight i ran the numbers with a 150 gr bullet using G1 drag co-efficient common to spitzer style hunting bullets.You will be 303 inches low at 1000 yards and have 596 lbs of energy which is low in my books even for thin skinned Antelope which die very easily once hit.This factor would lmit me to 600 yards.A cheap rangefinder at $330 takes the guess work away and a scope with a few drops of fingernail polish to give you pre-set up distance marks is a very desirable thing.I would sight in 4 inches high at 100 and put a drop of fingernail polish on your scope for 400,500 and 600 yards leaving 0-300 alone.Most goats are killed with the first shot or never killed at all and most shooters hold to high by not knowing the correct distance so they hold high.Sight your gun in as mentioned and put the dot on the front shoulder until you get past 350 yards.
