[QUOTE="WildBillG, post: 2839902, member: 106952"] The issue was that I had a 8mph wind at 10 o clock punched into my Kestrel. When I put wind to zero my zero at 200yds was zero. For my 338 Rum shooting a 300grn Berger Elite Hunter at 2845fps. A 200 yd. zero is flat enough shooting to hit Richardson Ground Squirrels from point blank to 225 yards. That is with the gophers in the prone position. Sorry to some of you but I will stick to my 200 yard zero. Really I would have prefered my normal 250 yard zero but I only have a 200 yard range now. I just can;t see dialing more than you need to. With my 257 Bee I use a 300 yard zero you can hold on deer out to 400 yards. Not all rifles shoot like modified compound bows. I am soory if your rifle does. Remember though they made todays flatter shooting rifles for a reason. It is so we don't have to worry about hold over and under so much . [/QUOTE]
