100 yard zero

They are for a rimfire, which is the section you’re in.
To try and start at a 100 could be frustrating. I found for myself. I bore sighted at 50, and then went to the range and got on paper as close to dead on at that range.
From the bullet manufacturer , some have charts. Figured out the suggested drop adding 50 yards.
I put up 2 targets stacked one above the other at 100 and dialed my moa/mils from the ammo drop chart. That got me on paper and further dialed in my zero.
I made notes, the difference from 50 to 100 so I could keep my 50 zero and then 100 and then 200 in the same manner.

I zero at 50 .. then if your range has an earth berm at 100 yds, dial back the scope magnification a bit and shoot into the berm. You'll see your hits and with a few shots you'll be good. I also take a photo of the elevation turret at 50 & 100 so next time it's a quick dial up or down. My 2 cents.
I've found that starting at 25 is less (shorter) walking and you can generally see the holes . Have it 2" high at 25 and you should be close to bull at 100 depending on ammo type and barrel lengths to name but a few variants .
We're in the Rimfire Fourm !
So dumb question but I'm doubting my method (New shooter)
Do I dial to the center of the group or dial the distance from the POI towards the POA?
So If I'm on the bullseye at 25y I'll be two inches low at 100 yards?
I zoom out and shoot at the dirt 25y away and do a rough dial. I then shoot the berm at 50 (aim at a rock or broken clay)
Then I shoot paper.
You can get zero'd in less then 5 shots. How many scopes do you have to do to make a bore sighter worthwhile?

well takes nothing to pay attention I guess. Thats on me.
Okay then a slight change... lol.
I do zero for 100 still, pretty much the same way. I get it higher on paper at 50 to account for the drop then try it at 100, it should at least be hitting somewhere on the paper now.
I also shoot at 25, 50, 75 to check my drops.
And yes elements will affect a 22 more at 100 since this is the rimfire forum.
I enjoy stretching my 22 out a little further thus the 100 yard zero. My other 10/22 is zeroed in at 50 though.

20 yd zero will be 1" high at 50 yds will be zero at 75 yds will be 3-4 " low at 100yds
adjust accordingly after 100 yds
centre fire
3" high at 100 yds 225-250 zero 2"- 4" low at 300 yds 6-8 " low at 350
varmint calibres 1-2" high at 100 depends on the size of critters you are chasing
