[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1457939, member: 10291"] I have tried various zero’s as it relates to LRH(and more recently for PRS) for over 10 years and have settled in 200 yards as the sweet spot. This assumes s consistent rifle/load/scope with valid inputs into a ballistic calculator. Based on my experiences, shooting to 1000 yards, a 200 yard zero has only 5x the error to 1000 yards over the 100 yard zero(10x) that can be induced by parallax/error. Zero’s greater then 200 can “exagerate” error 2-3x due to environmental factors(wind, mirage,etc) a big trade off for the questionable 2-3x benefit gained in distance factoring using the longer range zero. The 200 Yards zero doesn’t inhibit you from verification at shorter or longer ranges, and allows more intuitive corrections with shots from point blank range to 1000+ yards. I very rarely have to adjust my 200 yard zero’s with standardized set-ups. IMO. [/QUOTE]
