How do you zero your rifle? let’s discuss approaches

[Alan]

I’ve seen a wide range of zeroing methods across the community, and it’s always interesting how each shooter develops their own routine. To help newer members learn and compare techniques, I’d like to hear how each of you approaches zeroing?

Usually at 100 yards for centerfires. 75 yds for muzzleloaders (side-lock iron sights). My .260 REM whitetail rifle is zeroed at 100 yards, but has an elevation turret calibrated in yards to my pet load. I have tested it out to 440 yards and it is as good as I can hold.

Those distance-specific zeros with the calibrated turret make things super repeatable. Good call checking it out to 440 yards
