[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1471214, member: 12193"] I use a 200 yard zero. This puts me within 2" for everything out to 240 yards or so. If you step up to a 300 yard zero you'll be shooting 4" high at some point before the bullet falls back to zero. For me that is too much error, especially on a deer with a 10" kill zone. Most of the local shooting ranges here have a 200 yard range so its easy to zero at that distance. I'll be ranging anything past 200 yards and consulting my drop chart or BDC turret anyway. Out to 350 yards you have 10" or less of bullet drop and its easy to just hold over. Beyond that I'm dialing and figuring out a good rest. Once my gun is zeroed I like to chronograph my loads and verify my drops down range. You can then adjust the parameters in your calculator until it matches your actual drop. [/QUOTE]
