That is actually what I call a perfect example of getting it wrong
The apex of the trajectory at 20yds should be just brushing the top of the shaded area at +1/2", not sitting on the line of sight 0-line.
The rifle zero needs to be extended from 25yds out to probably 28yds ish to make the most of the PBR.

Good deals with these members
Yup - in field condition, I'd say this is bang on.
Back when I did a lot of HFT shooting, I saw how many struggled with 45 and even 40 yarders - and this is with ages to rangefind, get comfy, lay down prone, support the rile, check the wind, basically every possible assistance imaginable... and all that with a huge 45mm kill zone that was very unlikely to hop off ! Now take that down to a 25mm kill that is very seldom still and 35 yards would be way too much for most...
And as far as zero range, exactly as AB says....
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
OK, Thanks Shed tuner.
When I first saw the graph from Travis299 it seemed to make sense to me. I don't really hunt so it took me a while to realize that, from the comments that followed and a hunting point of view(distance shooting at a larger target included), there's a lot of wasted shaded/target space on either side of the trajectory line. I typically shoot targets in the backyard, so the tighter the trajectory line is to the line of sight, intuitively, looked like the better option, as the bull on my targets appears to be about the size of a pellet at the 20 yds I mostly have available. So a 1/6th inch up or down is a good day vs a GREAT day on the mini range.
