I agree. Now that I know what the optimum power is supposed to be I have a point to start at and I can head to the range to confirm that it is correct. I can't confirm anything based on only one shot at various distances though and I would use a minimum of a 3 shot groups to confirm my main point of impact.

Honestly, who confirms/zeros their rifle based on one shot?

I still have to check the site that enhtr mentioned. More knowledge before I head to the range...........
