    Greetings all,
    My "Hunting Rifles" are zeroed at 172 metres for the .308, 200 metres for the 6.5x55 and 120 metres for the little Bergara .308 and the old soldiers. None rise more than 50mm above line of sight out to those distances. This has been the standard for me for a very long time. I can see no point in zeroing normal hunting cartridges at 100 metres (or worse 100 yards or less).
    GPM.
