Thats a good idea i bore sight at a hundred by eye as well with bolt actions but the empty case idea would make for a little closer guess. The redneck peep sighter you should call it lol

For bore sighting I've found the Leupold Magnetic Boresighter to be pretty handy. Gets you "close", usually one or two shots at 25 to fine tune. Zero at 100 or 200 (depends on the calibre) and zero out the turrets. Then I'll proceed to shoot at 100/200/300 to get the dope for those ranges.

I have a Bushnell magnetic bore sighter as well as though laser casing inserts. Honestly though, none of these 2 devices yield as good of a result as the "hillbilly peep sight".

And I hate autocorrect
