[QUOTE="West Calamus, post: 1944496, member: 110228"] no particular reason for 300 yd zero other then less dial up by 3 or 4 MOA at 1000 yards. Although I do set my left /right at 100 yrds to mitigate any wind influences. Since primary purpose of my rifles are for hunting It's usually a simple 3 or 4 inch hold under at 100 or 200 yrds. and be in the kill zone. As far as Milo's point on atmospheric conditions affecting POI on scope I will experiment with that on winter vs summer temp's. but then I figure that would be a powder sensitivity issue and I always chrono for MV and adjust accordingly on swings in temp either side of 65 degrees. I am surprised somewhat that everyone so far sets zero for elevation at 100 yds. Neither of my ex's every said I did things the right way. :) [/QUOTE]
