Hello:
I just purchased a new Savage Model 10 ML-II. I will be placing a Bushnell Elite 3200 2X7 scope on it. I will be shooting Hornady 250 grain SST bullets with a W-209 primer and 42 grains of N110 powder.
My initial scope zeroing will be taking place at an indoor 50 yard range. I will not get to shoot the gun at longer ranges for a couple of weeks.
My question is two part. 1. What range should I zero my scope for with this gun considering it will be used for deer hunting. (100 yards, 150 yards?).
2. Given your answer to part 1 above, how many inches high would I expect to be above the bulls eye at 50 yards?
I realize that we are dealing with approximations here and that I will not know for sure until I actually shoot the gun at the actual range I want to zero it at. I just want to be able to get it as close as possible at my 50 yard indoor range. Thank you for your assistance.
Regards,
Chizzy
