Interesting read OP. I might have to try it out when I re-zero next season.

I had never heard of it either.

Will definetly use for my Alaska Hunt I'm planing in 2017

Why would you not zero at the second zero point so as to eliminate the possibility of error and achieve the same thing? In the case of the chart in the article, that point is 275 yds.

The military has been doing this forever. Standard zero for the M16 and M4 is set at 25 yards which in theory at least should equal a 300 yard zero for iron sights. Whether or not a recruit who has never shot any further than 25 yards in his career can be reasonably expected to hit anything at 300 yards is another matter....

Keep in mind your height above bore is probably not exactly 1.5 when doing these Calcs and that can have a significant impact.

This. I think JBM probably has something similar you can use, but I like the Hornady Ballistics Calculator. You can change anything you want to.

Good info, I have been using this zero method for m16 style rifles for some time now, it is good to know you can use the same method (and have ballistic charts) to help you out with hunting rifles as well, thanks
