When sighting in a rifle with only a 100 yard range a good rule of thumb is to
put it one to two inches above the point of aim at 100 yards. 2" high for
slower non-magnum cartridges and closer to 1" for magnum cartridges. For most
cartridges this will keep the bullet in an 8" kill zone until roughly 250 yards,
further for faster/flatter cartridges. Your mileage will vary, but for most
cartridges this rule of thumb works well.
