The most useful zero depends on the bullet’s trajectory and on how far you intend to shoot. For most big-game rifles, a 200-yard zero makes sense. Sight in there with a . 30-06 or a similar cartridge, and your bullet will stay within three vertical inches of point of aim out to 250 yards or so.

What kicks harder 300 Win Mag or 45-70?

The 300 winmag is a sharper kick for me and the 45/70 is a shove. Was not bad sighting in my sisters 300wm with about 30 rds. A leupold scope is very nice with the generous eye relief. A 30/06 will split the difference on recoil of the 300wm and 45/70.

Which is better 308 or 300 win mag?
