I know there was an article printed in the Skirmish Line on this subject, but I can't find the issue. I have sighted a Maynard in for fifty yards and I need help in figuring out where to center punch the 100 yard hole. If it helps or matters, I'm using 24 Gr. 3f,with a 350 Gr. bullet. Your help would be greatly appreciated. (center of hole to center of hole)

You need to fire a group at 100 yards with your 50 yard sight to determine the bullet drop. Expect 8-10 inches. Once you do that and can measure from group center to bullseye, then we can give you a measurement up from the 50 yard sight to drill the 100 yard sight.

Sight radius divided by 3600 will give you amount to move sight to move bullet impact 1" at 100 yards.
