What do you guys use as a general sight in point... 100 yds? 200? Just trying to get an idea, I want to get mine sighted in this weekend and hopefully hammer down some yotes with the new caller...thanks
 
we sight in at 200 up here, but it is also a lot more open ground up here.

Most shots are less then 100, but every once in a while one hangs up at 200+ and it is nice to be able to reach out and teach them a lesson. ;)
 
I shoot a .223 and sight mine in 1 inch high at 100 yards. That will put you real close at 200. Close enough to pop a song dog anyway. Good luck and don't forget to post the harvest pics.
 
Most the ones I shoot are 50-75 yards. I like to be able to shoot to 200 but never have shot one lately over 100.
 
I shoot a 55 grain v-max out of my .223 and sight in 1.5 inches high at 100, puts me dead on at 200. That covers 95% of the shots I take coyote hunting.
 
Your best bet is to go by the maximum point blank range. This is data that you can get from the ballistics information specific to your projectile. This distance in layman's terms, gives you the sight in distance in which your projectile will be "in the kill zone" for the maximum section of distance. If you give me your ballistics information, i.e.: caliber, bullet, and velocity, I would be more than happy to look it up for you in the ballistics charts.


For example: A .223 shooting a 55grain vmax, B.C. of .255 and a sectional density of .157 with a velocity of 3240 fps (std. factory hornady load)

MPBR is basically a measure of the maximum distance in which the bullet trajectory stays within a 6" window "kill zone"

So if you sight your gun with this setup in for dead nuts at ~260 yards, the trajectory of your bullet will be within the kill zone from 0 yards to 300 yards in which at 300 yards the bullet is below the sight line by 3.1".

Hope this helps.
