I've printed out ballistic charts for every cartridge I shoot and 50 yards works for me with all of them.

5.56x45

7.62x51

I put thought into this and it worked out this way. Works for what I do.
Just because someone doesn't do things the way you or rob s does it doesn't mean they suck.
Unless I am mistaken "sometimes" and "some people" does not equal "always" and "all people". It is a far reach to interpret me as saying everyone who chooses a 25 or 50 yard zero range as being lazy or someone who sucks.
The trend of course would be for lazy and poor shooters to lean to the least work possible and the easiest way of doing something and often leaving it at that and/or even doing a poor job at it. In the case of sighting something in the easiest way possible and the least work is zeroing at closer ranges and if they cheap out on how well they do it then its worse and worse at range.
Being easy and all that is also what makes it a smart idea to walk out a target instead of going guns blazing at max range without a general zero. Now I suppose I am going to get badgered for saying people who take a gun out of box and start zeroing at 200 yards are stupid
Luck is awesome. The more proficient you are at what you do the luckier you seem to be.
