It is not possible to calculate for a common zero for a known distance because the bullet trajectory will be different for each of your bullets. The angle at which you aim above the horizontal will be different for each bullet being that the velocity and the friction the bullets create are different. Euler's Method in mathematics can guide you in your search.

Your best bet is to calculate trajectories for each of you bullets.
