[QUOTE="fj40mojo, post: 510288, member: 19129"] I use MaximumPoint Blank Range to calculate zero for all of my rifles and use the same ballistics calculator to generate drop charts for them too for ranges beyond MPBR. You have to go to the field and prove that your zero is correct and test your drop charts too, but you should be doing that if you are dialing dope into your scope too. Fact of the matter is that the majority of shots on game are within 350yds unless you are specifically looking for a long range shot, and for most modern cartridges MPBR for a 8" tall vital zone (elk and deer) is right there around 350yds. By using MPBR you simplify the process of harvesting game at most common ranges to just hold on the vitals and squeeze. I know many who read this will scoff at what I say, most probably don't think I belong here, but you don't always have time to range the animal, dial in your dope and get an ethical shot off, so why not simplify the process for the ranges where the majority of those shots are going to come. Longrange is how I increase the number of opportunities I have to fill my freezer, not the end goal. Smart, logical, practical-Hardly "hooey". Oh, and I've hunted my entire life west of the Big Muddy. [/QUOTE]
