[QUOTE="Sully2, post: 622348, member: 31820"] 25 is EXtremely close...and the smallest fraction of an inch "grouping wise" will mean a BUNCH out at range. I start at 50 yards just to get it "right" on paper...then move to 100 to start checking groups. Since Ive run the ballistics calc on Hornadys website, I know that at 50 yds I need to be dead center "right . left" and be close to "X" high ( based on my 200 or so yard zero) I get it right at that distance Moving to 100 yards I stlll have to be "right on" "right and left" at thusly the bullet should have...SHOULD HAVE...risen to "X+" height. If it hasnt...I tweak it there ( at 100 yards) It should be "good enough" per the ballistics charts for any additional distance BUT...if its some like a PD rifle...I got to move back to the 200 or further line. Lots of differences in accuracy between a prairie dog rifle and a mule deer rifle.....that is unless PD's have grown some...???:D I mainly shoot 3 shot groups [/QUOTE]
