I am shooting Accurate 5744 with the Hornady 250gr sst and the black mmp sabot. I can cut holes with 46 grains at 100yds. The gun is sighted in at 3" high at 100. Can someone tell me my drop at 200 ,300 and 400 yds? Thank you

I would need the FPS to get it from the Nikon App

So what would you shoot to reach out to at least 300 yds?

Velocity is probably closer to 2100fps than 2300fps.

Velocity is probably closer to 2100fps than 2300fps. As said, you will be in between 2000-2100 range. IME -sighted in 3.5" high @100 you will be -3.5"@200yds with the 250SST/SB MMP and 44gr of 5744. For 300 yd shots in the .50 you'll need to switch powders and bullets. Take a look in LOAD info and consider H4198 and 300 Barnes Original with Harvester BCR sabot or 300SST(if you don't want to stay with your current sabots). 5744 is a great powder, but simply isn't going to get you over 2100fps no matter what you try and that equates to a LOT of holdover at 300yds:)

Who makes that powder? Would you still sight in at 3" high? How many grains of powder to start out with? Thanks for all of your input

Hodgdon makes H4198. 65 grains would be a reasonable starting point with a 300gr bullet.
