This scope? https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-orion-4-14x44mm-riflescope-acss-orion
They show how they mark the actual mil scale in the reticle. They show the tip top of the chevron as 0 mils.
But then right next to it is this
I would take that to mean that the tip top point is where you would want to zero at 100 yards so that the bottom of the chevron can account for the little amount of drop at 200 as sort of half-assedly indicated in that graphic.
Based on a general trajectory (your actual rifles behavior and set up can change this a fair amount but not a super appreciable amount from 50-200) I would then say that if if the scope is intended to have the 100 yards zero be the point and you were to be forced to zero at 50 you would want to use the middle-lower half of the chevron for your 50yd zero to try and get the BDC to line up as intended.

Run a ballistics calculator with the inches of drop on, set for a 100yd zero with your correct sight height.
Make a mark on your target above or below your point of aim that coincides to where your bullets path should be at 50yds and use that to zero.

I would zero for 50 yards to be honest. Use the 50/200 zero and aim dead on at everything to 225 yards.
You'll be about 1.2" high at around 120 yards and 1.2" low at around 225.

Exactly. With a 50 yard zero, aim for the high center chest and you'll be getting great hits from 0 to about 300 yards.
