[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2551030, member: 61747"] Because 50 feet is about 16 yards. A 16 yard zero is about 9 moa high at 100 yards. If you take your zero yardage and input it in an app it will tell you the dial up/down for the yards at which you plan to shoot. This is also why you don't have to zero at 100/200/300. You can zero at any range you desire as long as the profile and scope over bore are input correctly. Old school method is to zero 100 for most target shooters and 200 for most hunters. 200 is common simply so you have point and shoot to 300 with most cartridges and minimal hold overs. You can easily zero at 50, for example, and run the numbers for your application and see how it pans out. 50 and 200 are dang near the same. Any way, the point I am making is that you can account for all the issues you encountered for a bore sight process if you use a ballistic app. [/QUOTE]
