[QUOTE="Wallythe7mmWeatherby, post: 1415641, member: 100637"] I'm a newbie, but the only reason I know of to have a zero not at 100 yards is if you wish to make what I call a "hunting" zero where you set your gun up so that you hit up to say 3" high at the peak of the bullet and then you know what range you'll end up hitting 3" low. Anything out to that range then you just put the crosshairs on and pull the trigger knowing you'll hit inside the kill zone even if it's not absolutely perfect If shooting targets or dialing in each shot, just leave the zero at 100 yards. No benefit to being at 200, although reading through there are some scope methods I'm not familiar with [/QUOTE]
