Basically the rifle is sighted in at center at a set distance, lets say 243 M. That from muzzle to 350 M the bullet will be within a 6 inch circle(cone) anywhere between those two ranges. For a hunter it takes range estimation out of the equation with in those distances. H.

I know a cone of fire which is basically the shot group size given a target that is vertical like a KD target. Beaten zone is that cone of fire when it hits the ground which is parallel to the trajectory. You are talking about a point blank zero given a kill zone size and the ordinate of the ammunition being fired.
The hunter still has to estimate range for his bullet to stay within his danger space. He has to be as anal about his range-e as his kill zone is small.
