Yote Hunter - WV24
New member
Ok guys, coming to you all for some advice. I have a Colt AR .223 with a 16" barrel. I have a Nikon P-223 BDC 600 Scope (1" offset) and I'm shooting the Hornady 55 gr V-Max factory loads.
I do most of my hunting in western WV along the Ohio River so it resembles the midwest a little more than most of the state, but we still don't have these real long 400-500 shots. I'm guessing a real long shot would be in the 250-325 yard range. SO, basically most of my shots will be inside of 250 yds.
I'd appreciate hearing some opinions on how you all might sight this gun in. What distance would you zero the gun at to best fit my normal ranges for shots? Really don't like the idea of holding off the body on a shot, but I know at over 300 yds with my AR, that may be necessary. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you.
