Nope, not thinking of that aspect at all...

If a rifle is dead on at 25 yards, but is + 7" at 100yards, if we lower the point of impact at 100 yards by 5", to give a more reasonable +2" zero, it would also lower the point of impact at 25yards, to approx -5" ??

In reality there will even be some variation, because of recoil, barrel "flip" and other factors.


Agreed...
