[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 460593, member: 8"] To put it a different way, a person is foolish to not have confirmed at some point in time that their ballistic chart is accurate by actually shooting it in at known ranges. So if he just arrived at the range and shot at 700 yards and found himself 1 MOA low or 7 inches he would know exactly what to do to be dead zero at some other distance. This is exactly what we all do at F-class or long range benchrest. We have what is known as "sighters". So we dial up our scopes to 800 yards or 1000 yards as the case may be and take a few shots and see how the current conditions are affecting our ballistics and then we compensate to get it to exactly zero and are GTG for the rest of the way at any other distance.
