After all the back and forth verbiage on drops, it should be easier to understand why i’ve long been a fan of the 200 yard zero and the related 7..20..40 inch drops. It’s easy to remember, easy to use, and requires no turret twisting or heavy thinking. For target shooting, a couple of my rifles are actually sighted in at 100 yards, but I set the turrets for a 200 yard zero when hunting. Keeping things simple works best for me.
Actually I've never understood the idea of the 200yd zero. Then I have used MPBR at a specific size target for years. With an 8" target, I usually use 6", that will cover every rifle I own shooting to 300+/- yds which is where I limit myself any way.
At what ranges, zeroed at 200 yds do you have to start adjusting for hold over?
