And once I begin reloading I plan on setting my rifle up for one specific load. Weather it is 100gr or a bit larger. Maybe you have some good input on that as well?? As soon as winter breaks I will be at the range using this info that has been given to me.
Zero yardage is what works best for you and your particular application, and / or what you're accustomed to.
In my case, my shooting background stems primarily from hunting. For many years, I used the common medium game cartridges (.270, 30-06, etc) with common hunting scopes (3-9x with duplex reticle) sighted in for 200 yards, which enabled shots out to ~250 yards without much thought using a center hold. And though both me and my equipment have evolved, that same 200-yard zero still works in most of my hunting applications. It's what works best for me, but not necessarily for everyone.
