243 zero distance ?

Distance: One inch high @ 100 yards
Why: Point and shoot out to 200 yards

:D
 
depends what your using it for, if its short range woodland eg. less than 100yds then a 100yd zero is fine but if you want it for the hill or for foxing you will want the impact closer to 200yds
 
1" high at 100 yards does the job nicely. I try to limit myself to 200yards and so it is point and shoot to that range.

It is then 4" low at 250 yards still gives a kill zone if the range estimation was a little optimistic !

mine zeroed at 150 yds, scope 2" above barrel this gives me +/- 0.5" from 35yds out to 165yds and dead on zero at 50yds and 150, have a look on norma web site and the ballistic calculator, works a treat for me.
 
2" kill zone using 100gn bullet @2900fps = 171 yd zero 195yds max zero
4" kill zone using 100gn bullet @2900fps = 211yd zero 246yds max zero..

I use a 200 yards zero, with 100 gn bullet travelling at 3000fps, this keeps me in the kill zone between 50 and 250 yards. Means things are kept very simple put the crosshairs on the animal and pull the trigger.

If you are stalking in England/broad leaf woodland then a 100 yards zero might work better but for me and the type of terrain I stalk 200 yards seems to work best.

Depends on the type off stalking , my .222 and .243 are zeroed at 100yds for woodland stalking but I used the .243 on the open hill near Kingussie were my mate was the keeper .He did not beleive in shooting vast distances (max 150yds)but then he was very experienced and could use all the available cover to get you right next to the beast he wanted removed from the herd

I use the Hawke ballistics calculator which works well for me, you can add your velocity etc. and see on the graph where things cross

i zero my .25-06 a smidge low at 40 yards which allows me to shoot flat to 250 yards with my 85gr.
