For deer season tomorrow.Hitting perfect.1.5 inches high at 50 yards.2.5 inches high at 100.2.50 low at 200.20 inches low at 300

So what is that at 10? We sight for two inches high at 100.

That sounds like it will be very high at 100 yards. I set mine at 1” high at 100 yards and have a dope chart to dial if needed.

My thoughts are if 250 and under. No need to dial. If over 250, it would be a standing shot so typically have time to adjust if needed.

That 6.8 should be a hammer.

I shoot all my rifles at various yardages out to 400 yds.
Then based on trajectory I figure my maximum range that I can shoot without being more than 3” high or low anywhere in the bullets flight.
Depending on the caliber I may be 1 1/2” to 3 “ high at 100 yds. The faster the load the less high it is at 100 and the farther away it can be before being 3” low.
However what I do once I have my scope adjusted is shoot a 5 shot group at 50 yds.
I save this group in my notebook with that guns reload data for that handload.
Then to check zero if need be I just shoot a group at 50 yds and compare to my original group.
Saves alot of walking to check zero at 100 yds.

I have a 6.5-300 Weatherby Mag which I believe is ballistically similar to the 6.8 Western.
I actually went back and forth between the 6.8 and 6.5-300

I went with 264 years ago. They are brutal off the bench. I have 3 of them and only shot one and have never hunted with it.

160 they aren’t that bad. I’ve got 2 and love them both. Come on man

I shoot a lot of 300 magnums of various flavors and 375's but those 264's with the aluminum butt kick like a government mule! Dang they are rude to shoot.

My 6.8 shoots about like a 30-06 to me.

A little over 1 1/2 inches low at 10 yards

I never tried the method, but a friend did and had plenty of
racks hangin round. 6.8=.270?
160 you can board one those mules over here.

I'm just hearing for the comments about .270wsm/.270win

Seriously though glad to hear your liking it. Hate no one is really making brass for it as I would have gotten one for my magnum gun. But brass/ baren case availability is one of my top 3 criteria for a new round

Lil curious is they named it something like the .270 O'Connor Magnum is it would have caught on a lil better though

Also, 20" low at 300 ? seems it hits 250 and just dolphin dives huh

Works for me.Hold a little low out to 100 yards.Right on top of vitals at 200 yards and a foot over its back at 300 yards.

Hay for it work for you and your comfortable that all that matters was just saying that trajectory just drops like crazy, what bullet you shooting ? Also you using just a standard cross hair in your scope or something with hold I've points ?

170 grain browning ammo.Standard crosshair on my Leopold wrap around scope wich cost as much as my gun.

Am I reading this correct Bruce?
This seems really odd to me.

A bowling ball would have better trajectory.
