[QUOTE="razor41, post: 1631331, member: 81325"] I'm just answering for myself, so I have several rifles for several applications and I zero my rifles according to purpose. For example my predator rifle is primarily for hunting coyotes out on the farm so I zero at 150 because I'm shooting 75gr vmax bullets at about 3450fps out of my 6mm creedmoor. So if I hold dead center I can connect anywhere from 75-300 yds without wasting time with a rangefinder. My deer rifle is zeroed at 200 yds because here in AZ that's the average distance I am when I spot it. My target rifle is zeroed at 200 yds because I never shoot any targets closer than that, I even work up my loads at 200 yds. Now my tactical rifles are zeroed at 100yds. My 50bmg is zeroed at 300 because I never shoot closer than that, especially at steel targets. One thing I learned in sniper school is to make what you're doing simple and calculated, if what you do is simple and easy to remember then that's what you do, I do what's simple for me, and I have a lot of dope in my head for 5-6 guns and it's also in a dope book for each rifle, cause I'm starting to forget stuff....what was I just talking about??? Oh yeah, hope this comment helps. [/QUOTE]
