[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 412326, member: 21068"] Depends on how "flat shooting" the round is, but I'll try to keep the bullet within 3 inches of point of aim. Most modern centerfire rounds this means 250 to 300 yd zero at my altitude. This way, anything under 300 to 350 (depending on cartridge) is usually "hold on hair". Targets beyond 350 need to be dialed for or use the reticle for hold over/windage. When I say hold on hair, I don't just hold center for every shot. I'll try to judge/measure the distance if time allows and hold low or high (still on hair) left or right accounting for some windage but still on the target. This usually eliminates the overshot. Most misses at closer ranges by most people seem to be over or high. This also gives me the opportunity for quick shots when I don't have time to dial in the range, out to 350 anyway. [/QUOTE]
