[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 755937, member: 33046"] My trips to Cabela's are very rare, unless it when I'm visiting family down below. However I spend a crazy amount of money for muzzleloader bullets on line from them, which my wife reminds me of quite often. With the one piece mounts, I've never had to lap. The traditional 100yd zero works well for most MI hunters but, I zero mine for 150yds. My early firearm season shots, through Thanksgiving, will be 100yds or less. No problem there with a 150 zero. But after Thanksgiving I'm able to start hunting property where shots will most generally be 150 or further, thus the reason for the 150yd zero. I shoot enough target at 200yds to be very confident at that range with 2 to 2.5" groups. From a zero at 150yds, I have 5" of drop at 200. Piece of cake as far as how to hold for a shot at that range. Absolutely unnecessary to have a multi-reticle scope. I only shoot Barnes bullets, which perform perfectly and are 100% reliable. I load 75grs BY WEIGHT of BH209 and a Barnes 250gr TMZ, ignited by a CCI209M primer. My Pro Hunter will shoot a maximum load of 84grs WEIGHT of BH209 accurately but, I don't care for the increased recoil and with the 75grs by weight I still get pass throughs at 200yds. Many shooters report approximately a 3" difference in POI with a 10gr increase (weight) of BH209. When I mount my scopes I use a level for mounting and that's it. I guess I just shoot it so much that any canting, if any, is never noticeable. My crosshairs and what they're settled on takes up my entire concentration. Everything else is just an extension of my body. I took two deer during our muzzleloader season, one at 168yds and the other at 193 and both dropped within 4 jumps. Good luck, have fun and be safe. This stuff is fun. Shoot it often and develop that sweet load that shoots great from it. [/QUOTE]
