So this has probably been posted many times before, but what is your optimum zero distance and how do you find it.
Every rifle is different but the fundamentals could help someone who has a similar set up and or rifle. I personally set mine up by the following:
1: CHRONO, CHRONO, CHRONO
2: Select shot string/energy/ES
3: Use ballistics apps (Strelok Pro)
4: Confirm data at several ranges
5: Real world test one zero point, if data is correct in previous step you can now play with different zero points on the app to find which works best.
Personally I pick 2 separate zero points and each zero obviously has a near and far zero point as well. I do this based off the style of hunting or shooting I am doing that day by adjusting the turrets and simply use Mils for correction. It works extremely well and I am able to shoot almost any style I want, easily, and without changing set up!
Let me know tips and tricks to what you guys do to find zeros as I am sure some will want to know and it’s always nice to learn new ways!
