Shot some today on a short range. A 150gr 30-30 shooting 2“ high at 25 yards will be hitting where at 100 yards? Don't worry. I will do my final sight-in at 100 yards.
You need to sight it in dead on at 25 yards. This will put you at 1.89 inches high at 100 yards with a 150 grain bullet. 30-30's can kill deer out to 200 yards accurately if you really know your gun well and its ballistics. Otherwise, I wouldn't really shoot past 150 yards with these guns. Just know your ballistics. At 200 yards the bullet is going to drop about 7-8 inches.
P.S Never sight in a gun at 100 yards. This is where people make the mistake. Always sight in a rifle at 25 yards.

Just sight your rifle in at 100 yards and throw all the calculations and theories out.
