I'm familiar with how to zero the Matech rear sight, but here's something I don't know: what ammo is it calibrated for?
I ask because I'm thinking about plopping it onto an M4gery that I'm setting up to run Hornady 75gr TAP 5.56 ammo, and I'm wondering what that will do it its elevation adjustments. I could just throw it on there, sight it in and see, but I could burn through a lot of TAP (read: $$$$) just fiddling with it. I'd prefer to figure out what it will "probably" do, and just dial it in and confirm.
Anyone know what the best zero procedure would be under these conditions? I'm thinking about using range ammo to zero at 25m, then set the rear sight to 300 and use range ammo to get on paper at 300m, and from there using the spendy stuff to dial it in. After that, I may try running it in and out to various ranges to see where the shots land, again using TAP. One way or the other, I'd like to keep the TAP-burning to a minimum, so if this is a dumb idea, someone please say so.
