[QUOTE="Goldengun, post: 1867718, member: 109636"] Sure I'm not the first, but for my rifles without adjustable turret, I use ballistic charts to determine where zero should be keeping my trajectory less than 3" high at 100 and less than 3" low at 300. Somewhere between 250-275 yards for many modern cartridges. Then create range card to match my and cartridge ability. I don't have indepth knowledge of LRH or ballistics so this just made common sense to me as a way to keep things simple. I live in western oklahoma and have the option to shoot long distances if I choose to, but I've always tried to set myself up for a 200 yard shot or closer. But I like having the option to stretch it out if need be. I practice out to 800 yards, the max distance I can shoot at the house, with my equipment that's far enough for me. I travel out west annually which is probably the only reason I consider longer shots, but at 54, I have yet to pull the trigger on an animal beyond 500 yds. I like the idea of putting a limit on certain things and focusing on the experience. [/QUOTE]
