[QUOTE="41mag, post: 2023778, member: 3804"] If my load for a particular rifle breaks the 3K fps mark I use a 200yd zero. Those rifles usually have a duplex retical or a ballistic type with mil dots. I shoot them enough that I know my holds on them out to 400yds which is as far as I can shoot in the areas I hunt. Usually it is only dropping to the bottom of the fine on a plex or the first dot on the other. With rifles that shoot below 3k FPS, I use a 100yd zero and usually relegate them to ranges of about 250yds max in areas that are limited by terrain or wooded. Its all kind of like briefs or boxers, whatever works for your situation. I have done both clicking and a simple set zero it all works as long as everything starts off correctly. My biggest issue with turning dials was to remember to turn them back after a long hunt. That really screws the pooch when you dial up after already dialing up two weeks prior. It happens... [/QUOTE]
