[QUOTE="30 Hammer, post: 1333396, member: 100604"] I'd like to know your opinions on what yardage you prefer to zero at - specifically for big game hunting. Personally I like to zero at whatever range a max of + 4" in the flight path gives me. Thought process is that ang big game in N.A. has an 8" kill zone. In a 28 Nosler if I go to a 200 yard zero I am outside of that 8" range prior to 315 yards. With a 315 yard zero I am at 4" max , 0 at 315 and within the 8 kill zone all the way to 415 yards. This way if we have a quick shot there is no dial up needed - an animal from 425 yards and in is much more likely to require a faster shot as their senses are much more keen at that range than say 800 or 1000. I've shot Elk at 640 and the others in the heard had no idea where the shot was coming from. Yet you can blow a mule deer out at 400 easily if he sees you and hears you. Ok - your input please.
