50/200 sight in

[JASmith]

JASmith... I use a zero other than 100 to maximize by mpbr... Anything past my mpbr I then have my dope charts for adjustments... the same thing has been done for decades... people that would sight in "1.5 inches high at 100" are doing the same thing as zeroing at a closer range.

There is a possibility that we are advocating the same thing. I also use a vertical offset at 100 yards for my zero to extend the mpbr.

I do advocate using the same sight-in range and vertical offsets for all the sights one uses for a given cartridge. The actual “zero” should reflect what will work best for the expected most stressfull shooting at intermediate ranges.

I have also chased the mpbr on ballisric charts and with more than one ballistic calculator. For me, a lot of my casual shooting is done with targets that are significantly smaller than the vital zone of a deer. Hence the target size for my mpbr is smaller. That allows me to think only in terms of holdover when the target is “out yonder”.
