[QUOTE="tysue, post: 375536, member: 6525"] I just thought of something. When we're shooting, we use iron sights, so the 2,2 3,3 thing might be a bit off, as we're aiming 6" high when using a 6 o'clock hold, at 200 yds (we never shoot at a 100 except practicing at short range where we don't have a longer range to use). But try it. Sight in dead on at 100, then shoot at 200 and if 4" low, you'll know you have to come up 2" at the 100 yds mark to be on at 200. Then shoot at 300, and if 6" low there, will know you need another 2" up at a 100, and if that works, then the 2,2 3,3 thing is going to work pretty close. If you look at the National Target Company webb site, I think they carry the sighting in target I was telling you about. You aim at the bottom aiming point and adjust the impact to the correct height for the distance you want to shoot to. My 308 is sighted in 39" high at a 100 yds, to be on at a 1,000. There's another site about long range Match shooting, and the guy who runs it is a nationally known long range shooter, and he might be able to give you some closer coordinates for your WM. I'll see if I can locate the site name and get back with you. Okay, try longrangerifleteams.com, that should work. The folks who run this forum are long range, highpower, shooters. [/QUOTE]
