What i want to know is if anyone knows where on the paper i need to be at 25 yards so that I'm on at 100 yards. I'm shooting the Remington Premier 33gr
 
i believe and dont quote me but i think an inch or so??? theres guys on here that can answer this to the tee though!

you should be. My 22 mag is pefect at 100. And almost an inch high at 25

Sorry, there is no way of knowing without trying this with your own rifle. Once you have a reference made, you can then use a 25 yard sight-in to better advantage (if you are very, very careful).

The biggest variable in the 25/100 yard relationship is the height of the scope above the centerline of the bore. I think most 'sight-in charts' assume this is exactly 1.5 inches. It could be very different on your rifle. And, of course, bullet velocity is critical. Your barrel length may cause quite a different bullet velocity than the factory test rifles.

I often sight in new new rifle/scope combos at 25 yards using the factory charts. That will get me 'close' at 100 yards, but I find considerable 'fine tuning' is almost always required when I get back to the 100 yard bench. Even then, using factory trajectory charts will usually require further refinement when I move to 200 yards.

Always consider a 25 yard sight-in as a beginning to a more lengthly process. After you establish a reference for a particular scope/rifle/ammo combo, it will be more useful (possibly for use after rifle disassambly and reassembly). Even then, be VERY exact with your 25 yard sight-in. A 1 inch error at 25 yards translates to an 8 inch error at 200!

Well I'm on at 25 yards so now my best option is to drive out and do the 100 yards sight in so that I can make sure I am on. I figured on doing this. I was just hoping if I got it where it needed to be at 25 I could use a minimal amount of ammo to get the 100 yard sight in done.

Thanks for all the help guys. If you have any other suggestions or help I'm always open to hear them.

you should be good if your at 25 right now, there will be a little fine tuning at the range but not much!
 
The height of your scope above your barrel (within normal perameters) plays only a very tiny role in short range ballistics. 1, 2, or 3 inches above the bore only really comes into play at extremely short distances or extremely long ranges. I doubt your gun is even accurate enough to measure the difference at 50 or 100 yards between a scope that is 1.5" high vs one that is 2" high.
 
At 2,000fps. Ive chronoed them alot faster than that. At the muzzle 0.0 at 25yds.0.1 at 50yds. at 75yd.0.8 at 100yd. 1.5 mid-range trajectory. Traj -1.5 at muzzle at 25yd. its -0.1 at 50yd 0.7 at75yd. 0.8 at 100yd its 100yd. 0.0 at 125yd -1.7 at 150yd. -4.6 at 175yd -8.8 at 200yd. its -14.5 wind deflection at 200yd is 18.6 velocity is 1,139fps 95ft.lbs. BC 0.137189 33gr. v-max got all this info from Remington hope it helps.My Ruger VMBZ shoots the old Rem green tip vmax at 2,170fps. for an average at 10ft. from muzzle and very accurate. Needless to say I got a case of them a few years back got enough to last me the rest of my crow shooting life!
