[QUOTE="William Norholm, post: 1508052, member: 107711"] Yeah, it could cause problems. But like all statisticians I realize that I'm about 9 inches high at 250 yards (the highest arc of my bullet trajectory) when 6 inches high @ 100 yards. When I shot my bull at 80 yards I aimed about 6 inches low of where I wanted to place my shot. I prefer the longer zero so I don't have to dial in or adjust too much when making longer shots. I only have a 3x9 scope and it's no different than aiming high. It would be the reverse at closer ranges. Yep, a 120 grain eld-x would not stabilize in a 1:10 twist barrel and would hamper bullet sales. Interestingly I used to load the 115 grain Barnes tsx in my 25 wssm. These bullets need a 1:9 twist but mine shot good, printing .4 inch 3 shot groups @ 200 yards @ 3100 FPS. [/QUOTE]
