[QUOTE="Nikolakangrga, post: 489726, member: 17854"] Bryan, Thanks for the input. I completely understand what you are saying. Makes alot of sense. I put my .300WM together so it could be a point and shoot out to 300 yards, but is also capable of reaching out and making an accurate shot to xxxx yards. So in other words, Iam not entirely sure what I am going to do now. I would like to have a 250 yard zero but that may not be a wise decision. I plugged in my info into a ballistic calculator and got this for 700' elevation and 6000' elevation: 250yd Zero @ 700' Elevation: 50yds - .8" 100yds - 2.3" 150yds - 2.7" 200yds - 2.0" 250yds - 0" 300yds - -3.3" 250yd Zero @ 6000' Elevation: 50yds - .8" 100yds - 2.3" 150yds - 2.7" 200yds - 1.9" 250yds - 0" As you can see, at 6000' elevation my trajectory changed at 200yds. It went from +2.0 to +1.9. So if I punched into a ballistic software that I am at 6000' elevation, a perfect 1000 yard target and my rifle zero is at 250 yards. It seems as if that would work? not sure...... [/QUOTE]
