I am using a 300ACC this year for the first time and not sure about the bullet drop? I need to go to atterbury to sight it but I wonder if sighting it in at a indoor range at 25 yards is enough?

To clarify, will this be accurate then out to 100 yards roughly?

Doing a quick number crunch with a Sierra 125gr.: 1.5" high at 50, 2.9" high at 100, 2.1" high at 150, and 1.5" low at 200. Looks good to me.

If you sight in just a hair high at 25, you "should" be within minute of deer out to 100 yds. It would be far better to shoot at least 50 yds. About 1" high at 50 yds will do the trick.

Shooting at a deer at a range further than you've ever fired the weapon sounds like asking for trouble to me.
If you just go with the 25 yard zero, I'd at least shoot a stump or something when you get to your hunting grounds to make sure.

Yea, I went and sighted it in Sat indoors but taking Friday off to go to Atterbury and get a full zero at 50 and 100. I hate note being 100% sure and I know that will be in the back of my mind before I pull the trigger.
