Hello all and good hunting.
I am the proud, satisfied owner of a M77 tang safety chambered in 7mm Rem. mag. I recently purchased a new Leupold VX5 with the custom dial system (Turret). I am not real sharp with ballistics etc. but I've killed a lot of deer with this rifle. I am somewhat aware of how the turret feature works but what I would like to know is where should I zero the scope at? 100 yards? 50 yards? I guess I should let you know that I do shoot a "roll your own" load. I use a 139 gr Hornady BTS bullet with 61.5 gr. IMR 4350. That is what the gun seems to handle the best. I have not had much luck with factory ammo. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Jeff
