Sounds like you did pretty good.
The way I sight a rifle in is a little different.
I use sandbags and bench the rifle very tightly in there so there is minimum movement.
At a target of know range I fire a single round. If I mounted the scope correctly I should be on the paper. Then I adjust the recticle so that the cross hairs cover the hole. Thats what I call a Fast Zero. It is not a really good method - but its fast and pretty close if you bench and bag the rifle right. After getting my Fast Zero I will then tune it. Firing groups of 3 and adjusting it accordingly.
The Fast Zero - or as its called in the "Ultimate Sniper" Manual - a 1 Shot Zero... will not be a true zero. I dont know any snipers who would ever do a 1 shot zero. I call it Fast - because after that shot - adjustments are quick and easy.
