Both you guys suggested zeroing at 100 yards. What is the logic for that? I'm not sure how to phrase this and I probably do not fully understand everything that is happening, but doesn't that put the bullet flight path only crossing POA at 1 point (100 yards); as opposed to a 25 or 50 yard zero, in which case the bullet flight path would cross in 2 places. In my mind 2 places is better than one? Am I wrong?
LR, if I understand you correctly, you are saying to see where I am on paper at 100 yards and calculate to have a zero of 250 yards. So for example, I should shoot +8.16" high at 100 in order to shoot POA=POI at 250 (123gr A Max, 2540fps). Is that correct?
I'm not embarassed to admit that I do not completely understand MOA and Mils and clicks and what not, but I do understand inches very well. Probably has something to do with my occupation.
So, now I am going to crunch some numbers and see where that gets me virtually first. Then, I can shoot and see where that actually gets me. Does anyone have a good chart format they would like to share? I'd like to take from all your experiences as I put mine together.
Thanks,
