Typically for hunting you can zero at 100 for close work and dial up 2" for a dead on hold to 250 yards. 250 is about as far as you're likely to see a deer east of the MS, let alone get a shot. This is true for the Grendel and most others. The trick is having a scope with turrets that will repeatably do it. Even a scope that would do it at the factory has to be mounted up square, without torque or compression of the tube binding the mechanisms. Or you can just aim a fudge high when you know it's past 125. I tend to miss high, so I prefer dialing when sitting in the open.
That's for hunting. For defensive purposes, I zero at 100. I got no artillery support, so anything too far for 100 yard zero is far enough I can evade rather than engage.
