I've recently gone from mostly plinking FMJ's to varmint hunting and long range shooting. I'm still working on dialing in a good load for each purpose, but I only have the 1 rifle and scope to work with right now so separate rifles for each purpose is not yet an option. Rifle is an AR with WOA 18" SPR barrel with a Vortex 6-24 PST on top.
I figure there are 2 options, set a baseline scope zero and then zero in each load and simply write down the click values to achieve zero for a particular load. When I need to switch loads simply dial it back down to the baseline zero, then use the click value I previously wrote down to achieve zero for the other load. The second option would be to set the scope zero for the more commonly shot load, then zero off that for the other load, writing down the click value for that 2nd zero.
The 2nd option seems to make the most sense, but for some reason in my head the 1st option seems to be more simple or easier to deal with. Assuming the scope is properly mounted either method should work but was curious how you all do it.
