I sight mine in at 2" high at 100 shooting 240 gr. T/C Shockwave behind 83 gr. of 777. Last year I shot a doe at 183 yards I aimed about 2" from the top of her back and the poi was about 6" below the spot that I aimed. She dropped after about 35 yards. I got a good passthrough with good expansion.

thanks guys---i think I found what I needed on the Knight and Hale website.

100 gr pyrodex with a 240 jacketed sabbot:

50 yds: 1.59

100 : 0.00

150 : -6.21

I'm right at an inch high at 50 yards so I can hold on right at 100 and adjust from there. My shot shouldn't be any longer than 140 yards so I think I'll be good.

thanks for the help

Found the table in the manual I was talking about Todd. This was for the standard TC black diamond rifle.

With a 240 grain xtp mag sabot using 100 grains pyrodex:

................Drop in inches/ Velocity /Energy

Range in yards 0 0 / 1868 / 1860

.................. 50 +1.1 / 1696 / 1532

.................. 100 0 / 1539 / 1261

.................. 150 -4.8 / 1399 / 1043

.................. 200 -14.1 / 1276 / 867

Todd,

If you can run your bullets across a chronograph and get an actual velocity I can tell you exactly just where that bullet will be at extended ranges. The charts that are published are nothing more than guesses generated with one particular rifle. Different guns will give widely different results.
