Dialing to Preferred MPBR?

[General RE LEE]

Why don't you just zero at 200 and call it a day? I do initial load dev at 100 and never shoot there again, setting my zero at 200.

I like my precise, true zero to be at 100.

The only downside I can see vs zero at MPBR is the potential to forget to adjust before hitting the field, but that seems minimal because you would probably just leave it set at MPBR unless you dialed for a longer shot.

Because it’s more precise to true your zero at 100.

Walking around with the scope dialed to more than 100 yards is smart.

Why do I need a precise zero?
This rifle was never zeroed at 100; I gave it a cpl clicks after load dev and set the turret. It's probably less than an inch but I haven't been back to 100 to check.

I then went to 600 and vertical was good


1000 needed a click taken off after the 1st one, app velocity adjusted


2 weeks later 600 was confirmed, cold bore


So, other than to shoot something in the eye, why do I need a precise zero at 100? I know I'm within an inch and even if I was off by 1-1/2" it'll kill anything I shoot at. I know at 600, my limit, it's solid, as is 1,000.

If it works for you, carry on.
