Help needed, please

So I do not have time to get to the outdoor range during the day. I only have access to an indoor range that is 50 yards. I sighted my rifle in pre-season, but took a shot at a doe a couple of weeks ago and completely missed. I haven't missed with a rifle in I dont know how long. So I wanted to hit the range before I went out this weekend. My problem is I do not know how high I should sight my rifle in at 50 yards to hit be zeroed at 100 yards or 200yards. I am shooting a .308 150gr. bullet.

I think you need to decide first if you want it zeroed at 100 or 200...if its 100, then dead on at 50 should do. If its 200 then 1 inch or 1-1/2 inch high should to the trick...would hurt to check a ballistic chart either!

Pulled these numbers straight from Remington's website.
150 0.0 zero -1.2 -3.9
Translated: 150 gr bullet 0.0/50 yds, zero/100 yds, -1.2/150 yds, -3.9/200 yds

So, if you are shooting dead on at 50, you'll be good to go if you aim dead center in the deer to 150 yds, the closer you get to 200 yds, I'd start aiming about 1/3 of the way down from the top of the back.

thanks guys. I would have checked a ballistics chart except for the fact that the office I work in has blocked most, if not all, ballistics/rifle manuf./ammo manf./weapons manfu. websites.

My dad was in the army and we both have 30.06s which basically the same rifle
he used in the army and we sight ours dead on at 25 yds and are dead on at 100
and 2 inches low at 200 and 8 inches at 300 with 150 grain cor lock
I don't know how much different a 308 would be but this works well for us

Not saying any of these are right or wrong but you really need to shoot it at 100 yards to be sure. It all depends on your setup. If you have high or low rings will determine a lot as to the point of impact at 100 yards vs 50 yards or even 25 yards.

not being a d?ck but please take the time to shoot your rifle at at least 100 yds. Then you will be SURE where it it hitting and not relying on a ballistics chart. Good huntin!!
