    Its pretty bloody easy to get a bullet inside a 15mm dot at 25 metres, actually pretty bloody easy to put it exactly in the centre! You can see the hole with your naked eyes. Then it shouldn't be very far left or right [thats windage] If you are 6mm [1/4"] out at 25, it should only be close enough to 25mm [1"] out at 100, in theory. Dont overthink it, its all very simple, punch a hole exactly in the centre of a very small dot at 25 metres, verify it at 100 when you have the opportunity and you will know your elevation and wether you need to change it up or down. And then if you want to be absolutely sure should something go wrong, do as some of the guys have said and go back to 25 after you have your elevation sorted and check exactly where that one bullet prints at 25, then remember it in case shit happens.
