Hello, just a quick question here. My 30-30 seems to shoot POA at 200 yards. I haven't shot it at any distances closer than that; no fun. It has the stock iron sights on it, so I can't be sure, but I know it's pretty close. My question is, when I go hog hunting this weekend and try to get up to about 50 yards or so, how low do I have to aim? Am I interpreting the following chart correctly?

I take that to mean if my rifle is shooting POA at 200, then I will need to aim about 7 inches low at 50 yards if I use WWB. Is that right?

I just want to make sure I get the suckers through the vitals for a humane kill.
