45acp

I shoot PPC with my Colt series 80 with the following reload:
200gr SWC Missouri Bullets BHN 12
Velocity is approx 807 f/s.

Firing distances at timed, turning targets:
7.5yds; 15yds;and 25yds.

What should my point of aim be at each of these distances considering it is dwad on at 7.5 yds.

There's probably no big difference at those distances.
But, in the final analysis, your eyes, gun and sights will tell you better than we can.

I would say that you compare that load to what ever your use to shooting at a stationary target and adjust your POI. If it's factory or reload it still should translate. That's the only way to know the differences and I agree with G.wilikers statement that there is likely very little difference with maybe the exception of the 25yd target.
