I have a vortex strike eagle scope as was discussed in this thread: https://texags.com/forums/34/topics/2801373.
I was looking at trajectory data for the vastly different bullet weights, and velocities between subs and supers, and It seemed like a 75 yard zero would be optimal. I could be very wrong so I figured I'd ask y'all. Here is the chart I was looking at: ?w=400&h=290. The extremes between the heavy sub sonic rounds and the lighter supers make this a little tricky.

1.What distance should I zero?
2. Have any of y'all figured out the reticle on this scope for the 300blk?
3. when alternating between 1 and 6 power how does this work out for up close home defense use? Is there a bad offset?

What website or app did you use for that graph?

I've started using 125gr sups only in my BLK. (Its my "inbetween gun" from using the 55-60gr in 223/556 and the 147 gr in my 6.5 Creedmore)

I like how on your chart a zero at 25yds is also a zero at 150yds and only ~1" high at 75&125 yds. that makes sighting in real easy

I don't have a silencer, so I doubt I would ever shoot subsonic rounds, as I think there is no advantage to them without one. Is this correct?

In my case, I sight all my rifles in at 100 yards. More distance will require a hold. I barely ever shoot longer than 100 yards though, so YMMV.

I just found this online, and figured it would be close enough for a baseline. I'm going to go out this weekend, and do some testing.

Looks like 25 Yd zero would work best.

Zero at 25 and 150, max looks like 1" maybe a little more between those, and 2" drop at 175 before it falls off the cliff.

Seems like an effective "battle zero".

With supers I zero at 30 yards.

115gr controlled chaos

So my reasoning was that all of the ammo shoots closest together at 75 yards, and I usually don't shoot past 125 for hunting. A zero at 75 should be pretty close to on 50 yards and 100 yards(my most common shots). I also dont want to have to hold under for any shots I'd rather everything be a hold over. Thanks for the feedback. It's a good point that the subs seem pointless without a suppressor. I'll take that under consideration. I guess I don't see the downside of zeroing at my average shot. Feel free to point out the holes in my logic.

I went with a 75 yard zero, but the subs were hitting about 6" low. I may try a 50 yard zero if/ when I get a suppressor.

Check out the reticle for this Eotech 300 BLK.
