Absolute BS.
A 1" high zero at 100 will be atleast 6" low, and probably 8" low at 300 yds.
NO FREAKING WAY can you hold on a deer and hit it at 460 yards.
It will be fine to 200 yds.
You can make a 270 point and shoot to 300, but you have to go atleast 2.5"(3" is probably closer) high at 100 to do it.
