based on the photo of your group size Id say you have a "tack driver" there.
How does the subtenion apply to shooting closer that zero or less than say 50 yards? I am pointing the rifle slightly down right? Seems so odd to me. Time for Youtube subtension and balistic calculator 101. Oh sun is out. Time to shoot some claysbased on the photo of your group size Id say you have a "tack driver" there.
Zeroed at 50 yards I would next shoot it at 100 and 200 yard targets and take photos of your group sizes to compare. Your 50 yard zero should be good at 200 yards and about 2 inches high at 100 yards.
Im not familiar with the reticle in your scope to say more but you should be able to learn which subtension to use at 300 yards and out.
It doesn't. 50yards isn't really that far at all, closer shots you still just aim dead on center of your crosshairs. Technically the closer you get to the muzzle the point of impact will start to become lower than your aim up to the distance your scope axis is mounted from the bore axis.How does the subtenion apply to shooting closer that zero or less than say 50 yards?
That's where the problem started I was shooting good at 50 yards then at 100 it was 2" high. I didn't like it was so far off. I got the app but I think I need a tutorial. My intended use, at the moment I was using it has as a short mid distance target gun. I got a 308 AR10 in December but it's hard to shoot. The recoil on the 308 was a bit much even with a heavy barrel and the gun weights a ton so its hard to hold steady. I got comp'd a 6.5 from Winchester that is in the mail. I pulled off the vcog from the AR10 and put it on the Colt so I could get started practicing around here before that new 6.5 comes in. I have a 4x14 Leupold that will go on the new Winchester.It doesn't. 50yards isn't really that far at all, closer shots you still just aim dead on center of your crosshairs.

In short, don't worry about it just aim dead on from 0 - 200 yards with a 50 yard zero.
What is your intended use of this rifle?
For your Colt 6920 AR15 in 5.56 your 2" high at 100yds is normal, its supposed to do that with a 50 yard zero, this is the typical sight in with a 1-8LPVO scope you bought and should be a great mid-distance target gun (0-300yds) set up that way.That's where the problem started I was shooting good at 50 yards then at 100 it was 2" high.

Long term, I would like to be able to shoot about 600 yards consistently in hopes I can get an elk in a couple years. (realistically probabally a 200-300 yard shot from the elk I've spotted around here).
