sighting in red dot sight, 348 Winchester
I have put a Burris Fast Fire II on my Browning 71 carbine. What is best target type to use for zeroing this type of sight? I am shooting 348 winchester factory duplication load, Hornady 200grbullet, loads with H4831sc and IMR4895. Zero at 100yds or 200yd zero. Load is about 2500fps. Thanks!

Manufacturer says Fast Fire II is virtually parallax free 15-150 yards.

I guess I could have looked it up myself since I have one.
To me, zero range is mostly a personal preference. My B71 has a Williams FP on it. I'd be tempted to sight that red dot in at 150, even if I set it 2 or 3" high at that distance. Then you can always shoot at farther targets to see where it hits. If you try to zero at 200, the parellax could have you chasing zero.

we shot 1 in on a glock 17 with a 22 conv. and it shot in at 150' in 2 adjustments,put it on the 9mm upper and it would not cycle every time. the guy has left it turned on for at least 8 mts and it still is on.Gerat battery life,not like the cheap ones that go dead in a few days.

Big Bear, I have red dots on several target pistols, and seem to get good groups using a black bullseye target that is about twice as big in diameter as the red dot.

Re: sighting in red dot sight, 348 Winchester
So... I will use black bullseye and sight it 3" high at 100yds which is about equivalent to 200yd zero... yes? no? I got a ridiculously good group today with a Redfield Red Diamond pattern sight at 100yds. 3 shots under an inch. With my peep sights I would typically get 2 shots very close then throw one 3-5" out. This makes me think the problem was me and the iron sights and not the load. H4831sc 66gr, CCI LR primer,Hornady 200gr bullet. ( Warning! use stated load at your own risk, data given just so you know what I did)
