What's your 223/5.56 "zero'd" for and why?

With my sight height (Eotech on a lower 1/3 cowitness), zeroing at 50 yards gives a second zero right around 200, so that is what I go with.

Thanks for the input guys!

I zeroed it at 50 which makes me about 1.5-2" high at 100. The far zero should be at about 245 "according to my chart for the round" but I cannot confirm at this gun range.

I zero mine, which is a Savage Axis to hit 1.5" high @100yds, that way I should be on @200 depending what weight bullet I'm using. Usually 55gr. unless I'm really serious, then it would be 52 gr.

25 Meter 'Battle Zero'. Worked good in the army, works good now.

Seems like 50 yds is a good compromise for shooting from 25 to 300 yds. What are your thoughts?

Right on, a very good zero.

Download and print an M4 zero target (free) off the internet and follow the instructions. It will get you zeroed at 25 yards. That zero is effective out to 300 yards, and anything beyond can be dialed in with the 6/3 dial bellow the windage knob. Be sure to flip to the small aperture for ranges beyond 200 yards.

AR-HBAR is zero'd at 100. I'm good holding 'center mass' out to 300+ yds. (If it'll hit inside of a paper plate at those distances, I'm good to go.)

I've never seen a 2 foot diameter paper plate. That's huge! I'd have to laugh seeing someone put one out that big. But I guess it's all good as long as you can get'em big enough to keep you happy!

My 20" scoped AR is zeroed at 100 yards. My 16" CQB AR is zeroed at 50'.
