45-70 sight come ups
I saw a posting somewhere that gave the rough come ups on a MVA sight for 200 to 1000 yards, My load is 540gr bullet, 68.0grs GOEX 2FG CCI BR2 primer in winchester brass. I will have a chance to try it at 600 yards and would appreciate some info on sight come ups with a 200 yard zero. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

I shoot with this load, but with Federal Match primer, in Starline brass.
100 meters: zero
200 meters: + 9
300 meters: + 31
500 meters: + 72
600 meters: + 86
700 meters: + 118
800 meters: + 142
900 meters: + 164
That was with a 45-70 Sharps.
Hope that may be of some help.

Thank you Etienne. If I'm adding 18 plus 1 and 19 plus one I come up with 83-84 for six hundred. With my MVA sight I'm at 34 @ 200 18 up, 52 for 300 19 up for 71 at 400 , plus 19 =90 at 500 and 18 up =108 should get me on paper at 600. I'll give 108 or 109 a try and see where I am and then make my corrections from that point.
