I was actually thinking he got less drop than expected.
To your point, most things are pretty flat under a few hundred yards, but if they zeroed at an indoor range or something, hob can make those numbers weirder than you’d think.
Still though, center mass, and like you said in the wind. Which is pretty impressive.
But who the heck would site a rifle in at just 25 yards? It was in Utah, right? There’d be tons of places where you could shoot a rifle to 100 yards at least. Most of those indoor gun ranges that don’t have anything over 25 yards don’t allow rifles.

Some people. Just like everything else, there’s enough out there to have someone do it. I know people who swore by 25 yards because it’s ‘good enough’ for the majority of times when you’d be using a rifle in a confrontation.
Yeah, I was just saying my first thought, whistling in the dark. OP was sort of right on the money, I thought. I was just saying that my first thought was super similar. Probably says more about me than anyone else lol.
It sort of speaks to a good shooter at known distances, which made me think of urban ranges as I’m in an urban area.

Yeah I saw that on reddit but stayed away from it because what sane person zeroes a rifle they intend to use at 200m to 25m ?
Zero it for your expected range or an easy multiple to make holdover/adjustment clicks easy. It’s not rocket science.
It just sounds like a massive reach, particularly when a number of experienced commenters were saying that’s a 30cal sized entry hole not .223.

Interesting link, thanks for sharing it
