Guys:
How many of you have put a BPZ elevation on your rifle and actually shot groups on paper from about 25 yards to the max distance of your theoretical PBZ just to see what your trajectory and group size really looks like? It will be an eye opener because it won't be what you envisioned via your ballistics computer. It will show you what reality is which ought to give you a lot more confidence in using such zero's.
Also, how many of you have recorded your zero about twenty or thirty times to see how much it may change from session to session? If you regularly shoot at a specific distance, record your zeros and after about twenty shooting iterations using the same load, shot at the same distance, you will find that for reasons unknown, you end up adjusting zero periodically and up to a minute on average. I know one minute isn't much but it is when you deal with using battle sight or point blank zeros. Again, it will present you with another reality that you can use to your benefit via increased confidence in using PBZ's.
