Default Zeroed my BSA Sweet 22, then...

I zeroed my 15-22 and BSA Sweet 22 at 75 yards, then I couldn't hit anything. After a little frustration, I remembered that I started shooting Golden Bullets, then switched to Mini Mags, then back to Golden Bullets. At 100 yards, I swear these bullets, I am not sure which ones, drop 2-3 ft more than the other ones. I should have never messed with my scope's adjustments. I guess I have another reason to go back and go shooting again next week.

Zero with mini mags. I get around a 4.5" group with a full mag dump at 100 yard.

I suggest zeroing at 50 yards, then just come up ~5 inches to get on paper at 100.

As previous poster stated, zero in at 50 and compensate at 100. This rifle is dead nuts on at 50, but will float all over the place at 100, unless you are shooting match grade ammo. But even then it will be all over the place compared to some other target rifles. These are plinking fun guns designed to shoot pop cans, not targets 100-150 yards out.

Will do. But, my scope is supposed to move the reticle for me. The little turret on top and the big one in front have markings from 25 yards to 175 yards and infinity.
