    If you have a range where you can do it, it's nice to shoot different distances and record bullet drop at each. When running 130 powershoks in my 270 I was 2 1/2 high at 100m bang on at 220m and 7" low at 300m. No dialing needed, aim a tiny bit low up close and a bit below top of back at 300. If shooting wallabies at 300 I aim centre of the head which hits centre of body mass.
