you can learn the dope of your rifle/bullet caliber t
WHY bother, the reverse deal is the same, if farther aim the adjusted higher, or better yet, have a scope you can adjust in field and know how to use it, and have a ZERO at the average range your shots are at!
after all this is a modern era of so many options of scopes today to not have to rely on sighting in High for WHAT IF shots in the field!
Me, too!
Depending on the rifle and cartridge,
I sight-in at 150 or 200 yards.
I don't want to deal with mid-range trajectories.
I do, however, practice hunting shots out to 300, 400 and 450 yards.
I find there is usually more time to figure hold-over or dot counts for longer shots
than there is time to fool with hold-under for the shorter range shots.
