I guess this would be a good place to ask a question about this.I have a lazer bore sighter,the bullet type.I will use this example to explain what I allready know.I have a 300 Win Mag 180gr bullet and I want to sight it in for 300yards so I look at the chart on the back of the target and it tells me that 300yards is point of impact so I use number in column marked "FD" and it tells me 21.1yards,So I take that 21.1 x 1.56= 32.916.What Now?? What if I need to sight it in for 200yards??the bullet will rise 4.7inchs according to the chart,how do I factor that in??:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

That is not how the bore sighters are used. The boresighter is designed to point out where your bore is pointing so that you can get your sights/scope roughly aligned. Since the bullet trajectory, muzzle jump, and barrel harmonics are going to affect bullet POI, the laser can not compensate for them.
Set your gun on a rest, use a target out at 50m or so. Coindex the bore and sights/scope. Then shoot the rifle at 100m or so and fine tune your zero. If your ballistics chart says you should be 2" high at 100m for a 300m zero, your group should be that much higher than your POA.
