I’d like to see an article with sub sonic rounds. I’ve got a couple calibers all set but cannot find a good sub sonic recipe for my 6.5 creedmoor. The creedmoor round I have is an accubond 140gr bullet using rl17. I can hit a sub 1” group at 100 and 200 yards without compensation on a 6” target. 300 yards I have to turn dial or aim an inch higher to hit target.

Aim small.

Miss small.

I take exception to: 'Then there is the “Kentucky windage” solution where you sight-in your rifle for 100 or 200 yards and if the animal is further than that, you raise the sights and hope you hit the target.'

We sometimes colloquially refer to that as "Kentucky elevation." But the accepted terms are "Shooter adjustment" and "Arkansas elevation." Although there is some disagreement over whether they are precisely the same. Windage (from any state), it is not...windage is horizontal adjustment, such as adjusting for the wind, hence the name "windage."

Definition of Kentucky windage: (Merriam Webster)

a windage correction made by aiming a firearm to the right or left of the target rather than by adjustment of the sights
