[QUOTE="30 Hammer, post: 1334498, member: 100604"] Some great feedback here. I have seen some good points made about a 100 yard zero but haven't seen anything that tells me a benefit of a 200 yard vs 300 or Maximum Point Blank Range. I see a lot talking about the dope calcs. But a calculation is a calculation so I am not sure how 200 would be any different than 300. If that's the concern I can see where 100 would be better. Is there a reason that dialing from a 300 yard zero vs a 200 would be more difficult? Just trying to get to a real world solution - not all of us are hunting areas where we take the time to measure every point before we shoot - we just know when we seen an animal that they are a shooter or not (think A zone of California ). A Muley at 200 yards or even 300 can offer a shot sometimes but not enough time to play with a turret and you run the risk of them hearing and or seeing you at that range. So far - again just for my use I see a big benefit to dialing for MPBR - BUT this is assuming that all of us on this forum are actually testing and running / verifying the drop data. Kirby made some great points to me about FFP within 1000 yards and using the reticle. For those that 0 at 200 - what is the reason for 200 instead of 100 and why not MPBR (Maximum Point Blank Range). Thanks again for all of the feedback. This is why I love this forum - great insight and feedback and no bashing or acting like a child. You guys are all top notch. [/QUOTE]
