I do not agree... MPBR is not to utilize a single aim point... it is to minimize deviation over your expected range span... for example if my MPBR for my .260 (just throwing out numbers here to make my point, they won't be accurate) with a 129 grain load is 340 yards with a 4" radius, requiring a zero of 280 yards... and resulting in a mid point trajectory of +4" at 150 yards... knowing this, why then would I not hold 4" low when a buck is standing at 150 yards??? Ergo Kentucky windage.... OR if I know my POI at 375 yards is -4" why then would I not hold 4" high on a pronghorn ranged at 375 yards??? Ergo, Kentucky windage... but by utilizing MPBR for my particular set-up I have minimized deviation and the amount I am required to hold over or under... by knowing your trajectory, you can be much more accurate in the field and at the range... IMO it would be irresponsible to zero for MPBR with the standard kill zone of 10" (I only use 6")... and then knowing your target is either at mid range OR maximum MPBR and NOT either holding over or under... in not taking the POI at that particular range into consideration you risking "human error" or "Murphy's Law" to edge the bullet slightly in the wrong direction, resulting in an undesirable hit. JMO.
You can do whatever you like once the calculation is made but the fact still remains that MPBR refers to a single point of aim basically in the middle of the vitals. The size of kill zone is optional in the calculation. You can calculate for whatever size you desire. I rarely use single crosshair scopes any more so it's kind of an irrelevant calculation for me but for those that do, it is important,. Personally I'd use an 8" zone but no harm using 6"...the calculator will spit out results for both....sans Kentucky windage.
