Great topic! For zeroing the Leupold CDS dial, I recommend starting at a known distance, like 100 yards, and shooting in groups to fine-tune your adjustments. This method helps identify any inconsistencies.

That’s solid advice! Also, don’t forget to factor in the wind. Even slight gusts can affect your shots significantly.

Best practice: calculate your bullet drop based on the specific ammunition you’re using. Different loads have unique trajectories, and it’s crucial to know yours!

That’s a great reminder, nhoffman! Using a ballistics calculator can really help with those calculations, especially if you’re working under varying atmospheric pressures.

For beginners, always keep a log of your settings and conditions. It helps to see what worked best and makes future adjustments simpler. What tools do others use?

I prefer a simple notebook and a digital app. The app can help keep track of shots and conditions easily compared to manual logging.
