[QUOTE="bultinkle, post: 2854514, member: 122809"] 100 I prefer to reduce every variable possible, and I zero all centerfire scopes to 100 yards. Everything is the same. I dial when necessary, mil based dope to 300 on my cartridges is extremely easy to remember. I don’t like doing load development and building a nice rifle that shoots <1” 10 shot groups and then purposely planning to miss by 5 inches within 300 yards. I’ve yet to experience a situation where this has been a negative for me, maybe one day I will. I’ve never had to take a shot at 300 yards that I didn’t have time to settle my thoughts, dial and execute. Those have all been within 200. I can imagine a scenario where I pre dial based on the estimated distance of the next ridge as I’m crossing a crest, but in the situation I actually did that I did not pre dial and I had no issue ranging my target, dialing my turret and executing. Then again I didn’t have an issue putting in ear pro either and that seems to be extremely hard for some hunters to take the time to do :) [/QUOTE]
