My understanding is that the .223 does not drop more than 3 inches during the first 100 yards. Thus, if you zeroed in such a rifle at 50 or 65 yards, you could put a laser sight on it and basically put a bullet where the laser dot is up to about 120 yards... which appears to be the range that this person is shooting in.

Point blank range is the range covered where a particular bullet will always be within +- some verticle range. For a 55gr spire, 223 at 3600 ft/sec muzzle and a 250 yard zero, the point blank range is 290yds. So just putting the sight dead on will result in the bullet hitting within +-2in.

It depends upon the load of the the bullet. It also depends on the weather, rain, fog, wind, have an effect on the laser site. Think about it...
