Klem's advice is exellent for the technical shooter who has the equipment, training and time to work the procedures in the field.
Many if us, however, prefer to not mess with sight adjustments in the field and would like to aim for the top of the vital zone for shots at less than 250-300 yards.
A zero at 200 yards then makes a lot of sense for those of us who want to keep things simple in the field.
The problem is there seems to be no public range within an hour's drive that has a 200 yard station so I must makedowith 100 yards. It seems that "zeroing" 1.5 inches high at 100 yards gets most Grendel bullets passing through the point of aim close to 200 yards.
Here is a discussion that expands on the 1.5 inch high zero: The Hunting Zero
