[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1746329, member: 14435"] The reasoning is actually very simple. If you are going to dial your scope for longer shots it is better to start with a 100 yard zero. It is possible to set your zero at any distance you want and dial, but 100 has very little impact from environmental conditions. Once out further than 100 you need to start recording the enviro’s that your zero was set at as your zero will be shifting. Some ballistic apps have a place for that and some don’t. But if you don’t dial then set it at whatever you want. A flat shooting cartridge with a 200 or 300 yard zero covers many hunting situations. Just have to remember that your 200 zero may not be precisly zero with a change in air pressure/density. [/QUOTE]
