Terminal ascent or trophy copper

TA, for terminal performance reasons.

Might as well just shoot at 100 and not waste your time at goofy yardages.

The scheels by me has the TA in stock to where I would have to order the TC. So I’m going to try the TA to start with.

As far as ranges- if you plan on shots being farther and a standard 100 yard why would you want to have a zero closer to that?

100 vs 200 yd zero?

Well, after coming to the conclusion that my formerly beloved Swarovski Z6 3-18x50's weren't up to task (a sheared off elevation turret revealing the cheesy plastic internals sealed their fate) I've "upgraded" to a hopefully more rugged Nightforce NXS 3-15X50. In the process of re-zeroing, I'm...

Your POA and POI don't necessarily need to match at 100 yards but 100 yards is an optimal distance to set your site.

Said differently - you're using a ballistic calculator to come up with these super short zero distances, I'd instead do the same but with an elevation offset at 100 yards.

With a 300 yard zero it's long arch back to zero at 300 yards with a max of 4.3" high at 170 yards. Your 100 yard zero would be 3.5" high. A lot of room for error with this route. IMO.

I set my zero at 100 yards. You can have a dope card taped to scope, stock, or however your want to do it.
I take a screen shot of drops and set that as my lock screen on iphone or I use my Kestrel.
