How are you planning to zero it? You could get a head start by utilizing a process called bore sighting. You can purchase a relatively in-expensive little device that helps you with this. Google the above description.
Have the program create a graph or table, and you will see the first crossing of the bullet path at a near range, around 20-50 yards depending on bullet velocity, going above the sight line, and then drop back to the desired range.
Simply put a reflective target like white paper or a laser target at the close range, and bring the laser spot to center up/down, left/right. You will be on the paper at the far range when you actually shoot.
