A lot of the black rifles have optics that set 2-3 inches above bore. My dad has a red dot on a PLR. The red dot sets 3" higher than the bore. He figures if he ever needs it for SD, he'll be firing at less than 25 yds, maybe a little more due to his big lot and desert behind him. He won't be target practicing at those short distances and only needs to hit COM's.
No matter where you zero the 5.56, starting with a 3 inch defecit, the round won't climb to line of sight in the distances he thinks it might need to perform.
BTW, my ballistics program won't allow me to do what-ifs less than 50 yards.
How do you experts deal with this issue and where do you zero?
