When I'm dialing in my 260Rem with 120 gr ttsx or 30-06 with 165 gr tsx bullets, I generally zero at 200. Then I know I"m good out to 250 without thinking and I should aim a few inches low if 100 or closer.
Where I hunt is mostly dark timber, except when chasing antelope which is still often only a 200 yard shot so 200 zero takes care of 99% of my hunting requirements.
I've not yet worked up a hunting load for my 6.5 G, so I might do that differently, depending on results, but since my known hunting ranges won't change, I'm guessing I'll use the same technique until proven not K.I.S.S.
