Is my Marine sniper 85E nephew a "professional " i asked him last night what they zeroed there rifles at he said 200 YARDS.
Yes, I'd say he was an expert in his MOS and has quite a bit of knowledge with the type of weapon(s) and ammunition(s) he uses, but... most things have to be put into contexts especially on the two range. So is a 200 yard good or bad for big game hunting? well, that certainly would depend on a married of effects and causes. Go with what works and what you get the highest percentage of hits where you want them. Cheers... just my 0.02
