With your rifle, did you find that sighting in at 200 yards was more beneficial than sighting in at 100 yds because of what the data said?
I wonder if the data for the Zeiss would work with my Burris scope as well. The magnification wouldn't change and I'm thinking that the hash marks should be the same??? |
The primary reticle does not change zero when magnification is adjusted so it seems reasonable to have a 200 yard zero. That way I can adjust magnification lower for close range shots. There'd be no real advantage to a 100 yard zero plus the secondary hashmarks likely wouldn't work as well. They are designed around a 200 yard zero for most cartridges. Remember they are yardage indicated so you actually want #4 to be 400 yards and #5 to be 500 yards and so on.
The Zeiss data will not work for the Burris as the sub tension of the secondary reticles would be different. Zeiss has a pretty tight patent on their system.
