[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2473355, member: 10291"] Pertaining to my LR rifles,,while I may set my scopes mechanical zero at 100 yards, and spot check at that distance, a habit I developed years ago is calibrate/zero my load during a “wind free” or accurately compensated condition at 200 yards. Perhaps I’m overly analytical, but any 100 yard error(ie.parallax) is magnified 10X at 1000 yards. With a precise 200 yard test, any potential error is reduced to 5X… I’m usually testing both the rifle and myself. However, I do expect my 100 yard zero and 200 yard group to coincide, and, will confirm at my furthest intended range. [/QUOTE]
