36yd lpvo zero pros and cons

[1168]

Allow me to clarify why I asked- missing at 615 on a 600yd range estimate might also be explained by punching stuff into an app. Every gun I’ve shot at that distance hits lower than I predicted. For example, I was shooting some large targets at that distance about a month ago, and I had to dial a little more than expected. When I checked the target later, even after getting my sight solution such that I was getting 100% hits, I noticed they were all clustered near the dirt. 15 more yards, and most might have been misses. This was with a Grendel, for reference. Of course, I can collect D.O.P.E. from actual previous engagements, like that acronym stands for, and move those impacts more appropriately on that cold shot.

Just something I was thinking about. I’m not claiming anything different from what you were saying.

Eta: Hornady ballistic technical support has an opinion of why published BCs (of no particular brand of bullet) sometimes don’t work, and claim to have a better mousetrap.

Hey, while I participated, may want to start another thread in the Precision Section as this thread is wandering a bit--kind of like sitting down to research a vacation and 2 hours later you are looking at midget porn

All my AR-15's are of the 50/200 zero, regardless of optic.

FWIW, all our hunting rifles are also zeroed at 50 yards. They run from .243 win. to .325 WSM. At 100 yards yards none are over 1" high, and none drop less than 2 1/2" at 200 yards.

I run a 100y zero per the Great Jack Leuba.

50yd zero or 100 if it has a BDC that calls for it. No mounts higher than 1.70 or lower 1/3. If you use unity mounts you probably think antifa members ought to have rights and probably registered your brace or actually destroyed it. I have not used a 36, but 25 is terrible. 100 is fine, I just can’t get a good enough zero with a dot at that distance.

I zero all irons and RDS at 50yd, all magnified optics at 100, personal preferrence.

I guess it really doesn't matter, as long as you learn YOUR dope with what you've got.

Exact same here. It helps that my home range is only 100y.

Your close range sights are set up for longer range than your long range sights?

You're coming in broken and distorted, say again, over?

So... is it zeroed for 50 yards, or 200 yards?
