[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1632339, member: 10291"] I wouldn’t die on any hill over zero range choice, using both 100 and 200 yard zeros. I generally like a 200 yard zero with my LRH rifles. For the 5000 ft altitude range , and 75F temperature range I encounter at with my hunting locations, I see no environmental influence on my ballistic settings between 100 and 200 yard zeros. With the higher magnification scopes, I find a 200 yard zero is less sensitive to shooting position/parallax error over a 100 yard zero. I think this may be the reason why so many shooters claim equal group size at 100 and 200 yards. I see this quite often. Once I set a very precise 200 yard zero, I rarely, if ever have to re-tune with my same-lot loads....even with air travel to different locations. Using a 200 yard zero, any errors (ie parallax, etc), are magnified only 5x out to 1000 yards, compared to 10x with a 100 yard zero. A 200 yard zero doesn’t inhibit me from dialing down to the 100 yard dope, and doing a more convenient 100 yard zero check in the field. [/QUOTE]
