On a couple of threads down I posted this.

This was in response to the question of 10.5 in barrel zero.
nI wrote the following:

I agree with 100 meters.
if you zero at 100 meters then the following:

M-193 ball = 4 inch target area out to 150 meters.

M-855 ball =4.2 inch target area out to 150 meters.

Added Info:
also if you zero the M193 ball @ 250ms you have +9.9 inch at 200ms, -15.1 at 300.

and for the M855 ball with 300 meter zero, = a +12.6 inches @ 150+
I'd do the 100 meter zero

But in response to your question ,Yes, 200 meters would be much like a "point blank zero". Used in hunting circles it refers to the zero distance that allows the shooter to engage a "target" with out hold off. If you can achieve that with a 200 meter zero then do it. but as you stated that's a 12 inch circle at 300 meters.
You might tighten that circle at about 175 meters to around 9.5 inches.

Let us know when you do, good luck Blitz
