Stop Zeroing BDC's at 100 yards.
This video challenges the common practice of zeroing Ballistic Drop Compensator (BDC) reticles at 100 yards. The presenter argues that due to variations in altitude, ammunition, barrel, and other environmental factors, a 100-yard zero often doesn't accurately match the BDC's intended trajectory. The video suggests this is why certain optic placements, like ACOGs on short-barreled firearms, can still be effectively utilized with their BDC reticles, and explains why alternative zero distances (36, 50, 25 yards) can also be inconsistent. The content aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of BDC zeroing for practical application.
