I’ll be shooting 325gr Hornandy at 2000 FPS, in Iowa I plan on shooting 100 yards give or take 50, X model 45-70,
Should I zero at 50 yards , 100 or 200?

Re: Sighting in my Athlon 1x6x24
I usually do 50 yards and set it slightly high. I do this because its easier to see that bull at 50 yards.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

If I zero at 50 or slightly high, it should be dead on at 150 correct with bullet rise/drop?

Re: Sighting in my Athlon 1x6x24
If you want a zero at 150 you will need to check bullet drop for that round. Im not sure how high at 50 for a zero at 150 with that Hornady bullet. But from what I can find online if on at 100 it drops 10 inches at 200. If it was me Id go with 3 inches high at 50 and try a shot at 150 to see where you are at.

Again, agree with Al. Bullet drop will be the factor. That will be important to learn.
