[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 728384, member: 9172"] 500 and under...forget about the high B/C heavy bullets. Like was said above.....7mm or 300 RUM with smaller bullets pushed FAST. Now, these bullets are going to be moving at impact, so maybe a controlled expansion bullet. As far as zero....I use a 300 yard zero for everything....I am never more than 4" high or low out to, say 340 yards...but...My intent is to dial up for long shoots. You are going to be limited to 500 and shooting much flatter than I do, so find out what the point blank range is for your bullet with an 8 or 10 kill zone and go from there. I just punched in a 30 cal 165 Accubond at 3500 into my balistics program. 10 inch kill zone (never more than 5" high or low) Zero at 357, point blank range is 418...15 inches low qt 500 yards If you use an 8" kill zone, zero at 318 and you are good to 385....17 inches low at 500.
