[QUOTE="TheBoctor, post: 1946132, member: 107356"] This is another side-track. He asked where everyone zero's guns for 1000+ yd shooting, and the answer is a question about whether he can shoot 1000 yds... Short answer is zero at 100 yds for any gun you plan on dialing. I remember listening to a podcast that had Brian Litz on and he brought up another good reason for it, which was that in most scoped center-fire rifles, the Max Ordinate is your scope height for shots right around 100 yds. So you're zero'ing at the intersection point of your line-of-sight and your rifles point-of-impact without the bullet starting to fall again. He also mentioned that's why guys shooting 22LR should be zero'ing back at 50 or so yards. My $.02 [/QUOTE]
