[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1462348, member: 10291"] I personally prefer a 200 yard zero on my LRH and PRS/competition rifles. I have not seen variations in precision from my calculators or atmospheric variations between 100 and 200 yard zeros with my centerfire calibers used for these purposes. IMO, 200 Yards is a sweet spot for having sufficient resolution to QC the rifle/load, more precise parallax adjustment, inconsistencies in rifle support, etc. A 100 yard zero error will factor 10x at 1000 yards, a 200 yard zero, only 5x. Once my rifle/load is precisely zeroed at 200 Yards, it is expected to remain there, unless I change a variable in the rifle/load. My 6.5x284 primary hunter has not had a zero adjustment,......going on it’s fifth hunting season, with game/varmints taken to 1000+ yards. I will give it a check periodically at 100 or 200 yards. While hunting, I’m generally at 10x, with an 8” point blank setting to 275 yards. Everything beyond gets either a reticle or turret adjustment for POI. [/QUOTE]
