I am going to zero it at 200. Just started at 100 to get some practice in. It's a factory load 145 ELD-X Hornady.[/QUOTE
Hand loads or mine anyways will shrink that to atleast half, with no vertical at all at 100 yards. I am a big fan of 168 smk's for accuracy. Just changed over to 178 grain eld-x's in my 308 (mainly because enough people convinced me it was unethical to shoot match bullets at animals)and as much as I hate to say it the eld-x's over 43.1 grains of varget (2670fps) is out performing the smk's remarkably. My son just qualified out to 1000yds on Sunday and was just pounding a 12 inch plate (zero to 1mph winds). I have worked up a lot of loads with different match bullets but a huge eld-x fan now. if your looking for a new bullet I would give them a try. That shooting is with a 14.5 lb rifle/ 30 inch Kreiger barrel and it's what Iam gong to take my first pronghorn with this fall.
GLock above is correct in my opinion. I would zero at whatever mpbr is for the animal your shooting. It gives more room for yardage mistakes (Sorta of).
