[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 1944156, member: 33622"] You didn't explain why you use a 300 yard zero. Seems like you understand scope capabilities. Most I know run a 20moa or more base(depends) and a 100 yrd zero. The reasoning, we probably have 50-60 days a yr when you could actually get a true zero at 300. Add in atmospheric conditions, variance from zeroing conditions, and you may not have a true zero. A more radical example, I had a 338 snipetac built, 40 moa base, limited travel scope, so I needed a 600 yrd zero. It was completed mid May, and all summer I never encountered any issues as I shot when it was warm. Come late Oct, things no longer jived, and I am pretty sure it all started with my zero being off. I was done or over owning the rifle and sold it, so I never dug into the issues. [/QUOTE]
