Hornady 100gr btsp question

Hey guys,
with deer season right around the corner for rifles here in Wv. i have a sort of noob question for you today. I am shooting the 100gr hornady btsp this season in my 243 win. chambered CZ 550 American with nikon 4.5X14 scope (not the bdc). It is driving tacks at 100yds an inch high. my question is how high will i be shooting at 50 or 75 yds? is there a easy to use calculator? i found some online but they are pretty detailed with terms that seem Greek to me. lol

thanx in advance

This is the one I'd use if I didn't have the Lee Shooters Program:
Hornady

The only thing is, you either have to know or guess at your velocity.

you will be no more than 1.5 inches high at PBR aim where you want and squeeze the trigger.

Just guessing you will be right on the $$$ at 50 or so yards.The bullet will exit barrel
shooting up to line of sight around there to the 1 inch high at 100 prbly dead on again at 200 and maybe 6-8 inches low at 300.This should be close you could check
on the Hornady websight on the ballistic calc.

This is the ballistics calculator I use. Real Guns - External Ballistics Calculator Check out the list of bullets in the data base. Sighted in one inch high at 100yds it should be dead on at 170yds, and 0.3" low at 50yds.
