Since it has such a small bullet and is not too wind resistant, I'd say 200 yds max. Start out at 1 1/2" high at 100 yds and then go to a spot where you can shoot at 200 and see where the impact is.

zero it in about 1 inch high at 100 yds. At 200 yds hold dead on and at 300 yds just hold a few inches high and forget about it

Depends what youre hunting and what bullet weight - I zero the 55gn at 4000fps 1" high at 100 so I can "hold dead" on on a rabbit to 250yds but the 100gn at 2.5" so I can hold "dead on" on a goats chest to 250yards.
