I don\u2019t have to turn a turret and reset the zero. Those who are good shots and have excellent skills may be able to turn the turrets at longer range and keep on top of things. That isn\u2019t me, but I have good confidence in what I am doing with my personal rifles and the zero. <\/p>\n<p>Sighting-in a rifle for the load and the range is important. Different bullet weights strike to a different point of aim. A 150-grain and a 180-grain .308 bullet strike to different points of aim. The same goes for 55 and 69-grain .223. You have to understand this, as well as the likely distance to you will be engaging the target.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let the traditional 100-yard zero set your goals, judge the zero you need by the likely chore to be performed. The advantage of the zero should be that you will hold the sights on the target and not be out of the kill zone of the game between 25 and 200 yards. (Given a modern relatively flat-shooting cartridge.) <\/p>\n<p>It also depends on whether you prefer the high-shoulder shot or the heart shot on deer. A deer has a six-inch sure-kill zone. I prefer to err on the side of caution and hold closer. Just the same, this is a generous kill zone within perhaps 200 yards of possible shots. If you aim for the center of the target, you may strike three-inches low or three-inches high, but you will be in the kill zone. You will still have to calculate, but you will not have to calculate as long \u2014 taking the rifle up and thinking about the shot will take less time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-62484\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"847\" alt=\"Grouping on target\" class=\"wp-image-62484 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?resize=774%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 774w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?resize=227%2C300&amp;ssl=1 227w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?resize=768%2C1015&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?resize=696%2C920&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?w=1164&amp;ssl=1 1164w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?resize=640%2C847&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"847\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?resize=640%2C847&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Grouping on target\" class=\"wp-image-62484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?resize=774%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 774w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?resize=227%2C300&amp;ssl=1 227w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?resize=768%2C1015&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?resize=696%2C920&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/7-5.jpg?w=1164&amp;ssl=1 1164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>This group is a little high at 100 yards, aiming for the tilted square.
