[QUOTE="SammySTW, post: 2024057, member: 109958"] I don't think that is what he was arguing at all, and I don't feel like reading past page 3 of this thread to see if yall ever got it sorted out because this is getting dumb. His point is that if you are dead on zero at 200 at sea level, and then go to the mountains, you might be off by 1/2" or more at 200, so you are NO LONGER ZEROED AT 200! If you base your calcs off of a 200 yard zero, but you're actually zeroed at 250 because you didn't rezero when you changed altitude, then your calcs will be farther off when you get out farther. If you are dead on zero at 100 at sea level, and then you go to the mountains, you will still be dead on at 100, therefore you have a true zero and shouldn't have to change anything. I haven't tested this out for myself because I don't shoot at different altitudes, but I will take other people's word for it. Kestrel also suggests using a 100 yard zero for this same reason. Personally, I have been zeroing my rifles at 100 with the turret set to 0. When I go hunting, I will go ahead and dial it up for a 200 yard zero, or maybe further, depending on where I am and where I expect the average shot to be. [/QUOTE]
