Looking at buying a Burris 3x9x40 Ballistic Plex (or a Leupold LR) to put on my .308. I have read that they calibrated the scope to zero .308's in at 100 yards and then have Bullet Drop marks out to 500 yards. The scope is calibrated for magnum calibers from 200 to 600 yards.
My question is this: Can I zero my .308 (165 gr 2700 fps) at 200 yards and still have the BDC marks be accurate? (ie: next one down is 300, next one 400, etc)
I would rather zero at 200.
Also, any reason NOT to go with the Burris? Work as well as Leupold? (the reticle system not just the glass)
