Hmmm, although that might seem like a starting point i would almost guarantee that most HFT shooters have varying scope heights and that's assuming a true mil dot ret. I use a 10x42 sightron on a Steyr LG100 and have no idea how high the sightline is from the BCL. I have medium/high mounts fitted and a 37 yard zero that makes my aim points fall into 1/4 mil dot brackets at the most frequently shot ranges. Some shooters choose a 25 yard zero as then they only need to use hold over, it's good for the closer small kills but gives large gaps on the longer targets.
45 yards = 1/2 mildot
40 yards = 1/4 mildot
37 crosshair
35 as near as dammit..crosshair
30 yards = 1/4 mildot
25 yards = 1/2 mildot
20 yards = 1/4 mildot
15 yards = crosshair
13 yards = 1/2 mildot
10 yards = 1 mildot
8 yards = 1.5 mildot
I reckon that if you took the top 50 HFT shooters in the country they would mostly have different rifles, scopes, mounts, scope heights, different sightline/BCL, different pellets, different zero's....et al.
In other words, try and get to a club with some decent HFT shooters and pick their brains and then after many years of trial and error you'll find what suits your eyes/shooting style/shooting position.
