Zero Gyro Shot Question

I'm getting pretty ok at the Dick O'Kane thing.

About it, though, are you supposed to adjust the "lead angle" so that the torpedo gyro angle is 0? The video tutorial and this say to set it to 10 or 20 depending on torpedo speed, but I never get a 0 gyro doing that. I could be missing something else. I've found I can achieve it by adjusting the lead angle, though. I've had it work both ways but wonder which is correct.

Also, for the "vector analysis" method on the linked post, step 6 can put you outside of torpedo range. How's that supposed to work? Would you use the same lead angle from step 7 regardless of range?
