My idea basically boils down to wanting as accurate as I can reasonably get for my type of rifle, which generally isn't flash. That inaccuracy can be extrapolated out to find a maximum distance where you will be inside the vital zone (I halve the recommended diameter and taking into account mean trajectory) and take that as my maximum in ideal conditions. Note, that I've only used this on small game so far and it tends to work for me.
