Tink Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 True with rifles i don't know about ML If you sight in at 25 usually the bullet Cross the line of sight about 100 yards So to be on at 150 you need to actually shoot at each distance/ range and dope our yoru sight elevation with the load your using Nikon has a scope with BDC they have one made for Muzzleloader you sight it in for 100 and you can hit with dots Ring in yoru scope for 150, 200 and 225 yards Check Nikon web site use the 25 yards zero to get on paper @ 100 yds Tink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkV Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 You are correct Tink and that scope rocks! It is dead on at the specified distances using the charge and bullet weight recomended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 i was just wondering how high people sight there ml s Don't know about everybody, but my black diamond does have see through mounts, and it is sighted in about 1.5 inches high at 100 yards. Don't have a bdc reticle scope on it either, but I am pretty comfortable with my setup out to about 175 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I have never heard of sighting in your scope for different types of mounts,this is a first for me.I dont think the mounts make any difference see through or not.

Bowtech_archer07 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Never heard of having to sight a gun in differently because of mounts. However, I have heard that if you shoot at 25 yards and have it dead on, it will be dead on at 100 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
