[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1438203, member: 97196"] I have found just sighting in/load adjustment at 300 yards and using a 300 yard zero works good for me. One of the main reasons I use 300 is it’s great practice for maintaining consistently small groups; provides valuable experience judging the effects of wind. It also seems to more precisely confirm grouping changes after load/seating adjustments. I am usually able to run ladders tests at 300 yards. The drawback is the time it takes to approach the target. My goal is to achieve 1 to 1 1/2 inch groups at 300 yards. Once that 1/3 to 1/2 MOA is achieved I can confidently take the longer shots. When the most accurate load is determined you can alway adjust the zero to what best fits your hunting conditions. A 300 yard zero will generally result in a POI within 4-5 inches of POA out to 350 yards. That is a workable range for most large game and allow for a little more scope adjustment for longer ranges if needed, as mentioned earlier [/QUOTE]
