There are all kinds of factors that come into play in trying to use a 25 m zero to achieve a longer range zero. The only reason the military can use the 25 m zero is that all the weapons and ammo are the same (with adjustments for the M4 v. M16 and various sights) and they've actually determined the trajectory out to 300 m by firing the heck out of them.

I suggest that you get on the paper at 25 m and then try shooting at 50 m and 100 m with the idea you will safely wind up somewhat high - around an inch or so - at 100 m. That ought to keep you on the paper at 200 m where you can zero the thing.

If you really want to know your rifle, you can then shoot back at 100 m and 50 m and out to 300 m and just note what it does.

It isn't a 300 m weapon. The two Soviet style armies I've observed qualified at 100 m.
