[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1860677, member: 101791"] It doesn't make much different between zeroing at 100 yds or 200 yards. I set up at 100 yds and shot about 1" high at that range. Depending on the rifle and velocity of the round will put you at at 200 yds on target. Look at your ballistics calculator to see what a 200 yds zero is. The ballistics Chart should show where the point of impack at 100 yds is. Depending where you are hitting adjust the scope for the correction. Then test the round at farther distances to verify. I have found several years ago that the BC was better and what was stated sometimes. The rounds were hitting higher that what was stated on the Ballistics chart. Finally it a lot easier to work up loads at 100 yds that 200 yds with less wind or other problems with shooting at longer distances. SSS Mike [/QUOTE]
