I've been looking at the ballistic charts and have watched about 1/2 dozen videos this morning concerning zeroing a typical AR-15 .223 using 55gr ammo running aprox 3250fps (+/- 10-20fps) and have seen opinions on zeroing @ 50 yards vs zeroing @ 100 yards and after looking at my Nikon Spot-On Ballistic Match Tech. app I have decided to split the difference and zero for 75 yards which according to the data should put me @ .60" low @ 50, .35" high @100, .45" high @ 125, .25" high @ 150, .25 low @ 175 and 1.05" low @ 200. So basically anything from 50 to 200 just put the crosshairs on the animal/target and pull the trigger and beyond that I can start using the drop points on my Nikon P223 BDC 600 reticle scope for shots from 250 out to 500 which I've decided will pretty much be my max that I would attempt for a shot.
I'm just curious to know what zero you guys are using and why and how it's translated into the real world for you. Mind you I'm specifically talking about the 55gr ammo running in the 3200-3300 fps range as that's my goal to find a really good shooting handload within those parameters to use primarily. Thanks.
