    at 25m..you'll be shooting low at about 1-1/4 inches, really depends on your bore to sight/scope distance
    1 correction to this statement, point of impact at 50 YARDS = POI at 200 meters per the document.
    Most civilian ranges are distanced in yards which makes this convenient.

    This was great. Interesting how there is a cross over at the 50m and 200m mark.

    FYI:
    not 50M, 50 YARDS... "A 200 meter zero has the happy coincidence of an initial trajectory cross-over at 50 yards"

    Ok. So sighting into 45.72 meters will also theoretically sight you into 200 meters?

    Trying to make sure I get this straight.

    You can use any trajectory caclulator on the web and see that rounds like the .223 and others will be dead on around 175 to 225 yards if you zero at 50 yards instead of 100 yards. The bullet rise at 100 yards will only be about 2 inches or so, which means you can aim about dead on from 50 to 200 yards and hit a small target area. It's just easy to zero in at 50 yards compared to 200 yards, especially with iron sights. There are even indoor rifle ranges with 50 yard targets.
    But you have to get a very small grouping zero at 50 yards because that grouping will expand a lot at 200 yards ( angular displacement). A two inch group at 50 yds is an 8 inch group at 200!
