Recently bought a JP GMR15, have a Holosun 510C to put on it, and once I get some practice behind me am intending to do local USPSA competitions. Which leads to: any advice on zero distance for that likely use? My dive into the rabbit hole on the web comes up with 15 and 25 yards as most typical. A review of endless youtube videos of matches suggests 15 yards might be most useful, but would appreciate any guidance on this. I can manage the hold overs and unders as necessary, but would prefer to set it once and train at that distance.

25 yards. (Max L. uses/teaches a 75 yard zero, which ends up being close to zero at 25 too.)
You end up having to hold a little high on close stuff and hoser targets, but after a couple of practice sessions it becomes second nature. Due to height-over-bore, you're going to print a little low close in no matter what and if you go with a 7/10/15 yard zero it becomes a total guessing game at anything 20+ (especially if trying to go fast or on tight partials further out).

I zero'd at 25. I occasionally use my PCC as a substitute rifle for practice, so it gets shot out to 80+ yards regularly and works just fine. I haven't spent a lot of testing holdover under 10 yards, but it has always made holes were I expected it to in USPSA matches.
