Recommended zero for 3 gun

It doesn't really matter so long as you know what the gun is doing between 0 Yds and your zero; and have a plan for the longer shots.

A 200 Meter zero is always the standard for me. No thinking involved when I switch guns, since I've done it this way for years (and before I had turrets, BDC or Mil (or MOA ) hash marks.

We generally shoot to about 350 yds in the local long range match, sometimes a little longer. We have another match in a long pistol berm that's always under 90 yds.

ETA: The hash marks on my 1-4 PST are too thin for my eyes to pick up easily. However it workes just fine at 330 yds (300M) using the center dot with a 200M zero. The hold point on 10" steel is simply the top edge - or a blond one over, depending on the load and barrel length.

I dont know what zero he is using with his Swaro. A lot depends on your reticle and the load your planning on using. A lot also depends on the targets that your typically engaging. Larues allow for a lot of elevation slop. MGM plates less so.

Most important is that you completely understand your zero and know where to hold on the target for every range that you commonly encounter.

I run a 200 meter zero with Hornady Steel Match 75s with the CMR reticle.

FYI almost all the best iron sight shooters run a 300 y or m zero.

I recently spent time with Daniel and he had his Swaro zeroed at 100. I've got the Gen 2 with the same BRT reticle, and it makes perfect sense to run a 100 yard zero, since the reticle gives just enough information for holdovers and windage holds out to 600 yards and up to 20 mph winds.

With a different optic, I might choose a different scheme.

This in a nut shell was explained to me and converted my thinking on having a 50/200 zero as opposed to the 100... no all my optics are 100 including my RDs.
