never trust a ballistics calculator (or Internet suggestions) without shooting at the actual distance
I agree with that 100%, I don't sight in at 100 and see what the computer says. I sight it in at 250 yards on a paper target, then set targets up at 100, 200, 300 and 400 yards in my back yard and see what my bullet does.

If I can't keen them in a circle reposenting the vital area of the animal I hit and each range, then I do some adjusting.

(the 400 yard target is just for fun, like I said, I've never found the need to hunt past 300)
