I hunt with a .308WIN shooting 180gr BTSP these days when it comes to gun deer season.

I sight in 4" high at 100 yards which puts me almost dead center at 200 and about 5.5" low at 300 out of my rifle. Its not what the ballistics calculators say but that's how it shoots so that's what I go with. Thus far if I've lost a deer its not because I sighted in wrong - its because I forgot to disengage the safety!

The way that Kraigwy does it is the correct way. I really should start doing things that way but old habits die hard especially if they have been working all this time.
