[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1867054, member: 110773"] All of my rifles get zeroed for MPBR using a 6" diameter target. Have been doing that for decades. I personally think 8" is too large as the mid-range trajectory will be 4" above line of sight. a 6" MPBR typically works out to be around 2-1/2" high at 100 yards with MPBR between 240 and 430 yards depending on the cartridge and load. Out to 300 yards I can generally aim and fire with no worry about hold over. Out to 500 I don't even need a BDC reticle, although I tend to use them at 400 and beyond as almost all my rifles have them. My lever guns also get MPBR zeroed for a 6: target but the lower velocities and B.C. levels put them in a different class than than my other centerfires. A 6" target MPBR for my .45-70 results in a 22" drop at 300 yards. . [/QUOTE]
