How do you note your rifles current zero setting when storing a rifle?

How do you note the current zero yardage of your rifle when storing it between range days?
For instance:
If I take my 6.5 hottness and confirm zero @100yds then go to 600 and 100yds banging steel, when the day is should I pull out all the wind and elevation and leave it at 100yds Zero?
Or do you leave it at the 600yd zero or 1000yd zero? (which is my preference but does not account for changing wind)
I normally leave mine zeroed @ 600 elevation and whatever wind hold I had remaining.
But I was thinking that this "stored setting" is also related to the amount of wind on that day shooting 600, and the temperature of that day at 600 and so on...
So technically it would be more accurate to at the end of the day go back to 100yds with Zero elevation and wind (basically take out the environmental conditions that existed at range last time)
When leaving it at 600, on my next range visit I just do a hold under value to confirm yardage at 100 plate (disregard wind), then start shooting at the 600 berm.

So do ya'll just go back to zero each time? or note what yardage(and possibly wind, temp etc..) it is left zeroed for?
In the picture below you will see a piece of Coroplast attached to my Mag Block along with a Pica Dry pencil and a sharpie.
I use paracord and a quick release clip so I can leave the mag block in place and take the coroplast.
At the start of the day I write down all the distances and my estimated dope using Strelok or Applied Ballistics in sharpie.
During my walk back I will write down any changes in pencil.

Some guys laminate their dope cards.

Suppressed 9mm

@OP, there's a lot to discuss with 9mm PCCs or SBRs or whatever you want to call them. I mentioned the radial delayed blowback rig that I out together to tell you what my experience was, which was positive. For me, it was quick and easy to put together. It turned out to shoot well,, but is an example of one.

If I was wholly committed to the 9mm, I probably would have gone a different route, but would have had to spend a lot more money. If money was no object, I would have gotten into some flavor of roller delayed blowback system.

If you haven't looked at them yet, Id check out the Mean Arms. Might be a bitch to find or get one because they are kinda taking over the comp pcc scene. But its a bearing delayed upper. Ive been impressed with it so far but haven't put enough through it to really say if its reliable or not. Ive heard good things from others that have them tho. I like them alot because its still the Ar platform.

Another city crawling with invaders and murderers

Houston- 422 of the worst of the worst rounded up in a few days - by feds

262 of the bad, it seems... only one of the worst? I assume if they had more than one murderer they would have put him out front too.

Just one murderer from Colombia, and at least 160 Home Depot day laborers, according to the article:

Of the 422 arrests, 262 have criminal convictions...

"They are doing the database research to get the worst of the worst, the ones who have the most significant threat to public safety," Bradford said.

It appears that they are mostly arresting college kids who write Letters-to-the-Editor and landscapers.

...and now this is all being offset by importing squatters from Africa, of all places.

When do we send back all the Viveks on H1Bs and finally get serious about having a quality tech sector? Probably he'll let more of those in too.

Even if you are only shooting 600 yards, you should still zero at 100 yards and dial to 600.

If you are afraid that you will be dialing too much, put a 10moa rail on the rifle. Then you won't have to dial as much. Be careful to match your turrets though - if you use a 10moa rail and you're scope is mil/mil you will need to change the turrets to moa.
Whether you have a 0 moa rail, a 10 moa rail, or a 40 moa rail, the amount of drop- and thus the amount you must dial or hold- remains constant. A sloped rail just moves the zero so that you have more adjustment available.

(I just realized that this may be in jest. But, the OP is sufficiently confused that I’m going to leave it anyway.)

India vs Pakistan

I don't pay much attention to the liberal msm. I just looked up "Trump Helsinki Surrender" on Google.

Excuse me, what??

The second most significant event of the 21st Century... which only happened seven years ago... you needed to google?

Trump spent an entire week of his first term traveling around Europe trashing the Free World and our allies, and then showed up on the border of East and West...100 YEARS TO THE DAY OF THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION... and surrendered to V.V. Putin.

Were you too young? Too old? On drugs?

What about when he flew the Taliban first class to Doha and surrendered to them? We used to kill Taliban. Nobody gave them a shred of legitimacy. After they had Trump's surrender in hand, they began the preparation for their part in our disastrous withdrawal- and the Afghan people knew they had been sold out.

All liberal rags...
liberal talking points were that Trump "disgraced the US by siding with Putin..."
There's enough history that is known that the CIA was the key player...
The CIA basikully overthrew...
Then, there's the Bio Labs...
I could care less if Trump told Putin...
Oh, then there's that little issue of the Pinky Promise...

Something real bad got inside your head, and you need to get it out, homey.

As far as "Trump surrendering to China" today, the Dow and NASDAQ seem to have a difference of opinion with you.

Keep your eye on those numbers.

No matter how much further this NY liberal shitbag takes us down the tubes, just tell yourself that he's a "cOHnsurRvatiVe!" and that folding down our institutions, putting us on our knees before the adversary, and making idiocracy real is all very MAGA and good.

After conservatives have dumped legacy media, Russia has filled in the void and done an outstanding job of convincing people that a country who was invaded is actually the aggressor and to blame.

Exactamundo- and the first step in radicalization is to unplug from the mainstream. The second step is to abandon your family for the "new family."

It doesn't matter if it's a Comet Cult, a Jihadist Organization, or Ultra-MAGA. It's all done on the same playbook against gullible and vulnerable people- who sign themselves up for victimization... and actively pursue it.

That's precisely what is on display here daily.... and that's what makes it so DELISH.

More REEEEEE!!!

Don't you Komrades spell it:

PEEEEEEEE!!

We're talking about YOUR basement sugar-tits.

It's going to be very hard to deliver a can't-refuse cash offer for you to purchase my basement.

Probably the equivalent of many lifetimes' wages with your GED... plus, we know you spent most of your life savings on pain pills and the rest to be a bag holder on the Melaniacoin Crypto-scam.

You must have early hours at the public library out there in the vast wasteland of American Carnage to even be posting here.
