I learned the same from Bob Hagel and still run my guns that way from the 35 Whelen to the 7mm Mashburn...
Finally some backup.
Dang, I have been flamed more times than I can count for recomending a 300 yd or possibly longer zero.
The midrange trajecty is not quite so problematic in the 30-06 with a good 165 boat tail handloaded to 65,000 psi using a slow burn rate powder.
WELL...Praise The Lord and Pass the Jar ! ! !
For the past few years I've explained this 300 yd zero over and over. It seemed as tho NO ONE except Bobin NH ever heard of it.
I'm SO GLAD to know some know about it.
Idaho Shooter - This year I'll be hunting an 06 with 165 BTSP at 2900 + myself---sighted 3" hi at 100 yd.
It sure feels good to have some company. I really thot this was a LOST system.
