    Phil...my experience with 223 over last 25 years tells me a 2" high at hundy zero is better.....punch the numbers in pointblank and you will see why...basically it keeps it in vital zone better to 200 where 99% of shots will be...tried the higher zero and found wasshooting over the top at inbetween ranges.
    and yes it is entirely possible....but all things are relative....for me who seldom shoots past 250...400 is a looooong shot ,group size of AROUND inch is perfectly adequate.....with hillar/shoulder area its a dead deer..... wallabies will be just as dead hit 4" left of centre using varmit projectiles when you aim for centre of the big bit.....at 200 yards 2" anyway off aim wont matter a hoot.
