Dialing to Preferred MPBR?

[General RE LEE]

This has likely been discussed ad nauseam, but anyone use a ballistic chart to find the zero for a optimum MPBR and simply dial to that number from a 100 yard zero and leave it?

For example, I like 220 yard zero for my 6 ARC shooting 108 ELDMs. I currently have a 100 yard zero, but I can dial my turret 2.25 MOA and leave it when I go hunt. That will keep me in the vitals out to 275 yards. If I need to dial beyond that I’m good to go.

I do it with my compound bow. It sits at a 27 yard zero : +-3” from 0-30 yards. I can dial out to 80.

For whitetail it pretty much never moves. When I’m hunting in the mountains, I’ll range and dial.

I’ve always just flubbed this with a rifle in the past - 2” high at 100 and point and click from 0-200. Now that I shoot more and have better understanding of the gun, and ballistics. I can stretch it with a flatter shooting projectile

Yes, I use a 100yd zero and dial up in the field for a PBR. And just like above I do it with the slider on the bow.

I guess I go against the grain from Form and others. I get a good zero at 100 yards. I pick a day when wind and weather variables are as favorable as possible.

I then dial elevation for 200 yards and shoot a 10 shot group. If satisfied with the group, I set that as my zero range and set my zero stop and turret.
Don't know if it's right or wrong but it's my way. I never dial windage.

I feel this allows me to be good out to a decent PBR and if I need to dial, I start from zero and not .7 mils and then have to add 1.3 mils to get to 400 yards. Makes it simple for my mind.
