Form's post about the rationale for zeroing centrefires at 100 yards and 22LR at 40 yards, because people have asked:
With common centerfire rifle cartridges and a 100 yard zero, the center of the cone never raises above the line of sight. You never have to dial down to hit anything from muzzle onward. From muzzle to around 65-70 yards you dial up or aim high, from 65-70 yards to about 120 yards it’s dead on, past 120’ish yards you dial up or aim high.
A 40 yard zero with mist .22 LR’s is the same. I zero all of...
Form, any chance you can parse this out a bit? Specifically, what do you mean by 'functional equivalent' in this context? And are you recommending a 40 yard zero for 22LR?
Thanks!
