[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 841780, member: 17844"] I think that may be the problem . I am sure I read some place that the reticule for 300 WSM is designed for 180 grain bullet @ 2950fps in group A and zero @ 200 yards for group A They give a drop accuracy variation of 35 to 45 inch @ 500 yards across all the cartridges in group A so that's not very accurate 10 inch variation at 500 and why I don't like them much. Some will be lucky and it very close to their trajectory and others will not be. I found it [URL]http://www.leupold.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/BAS_Inst_Manual_17July12.pdf[/URL] Your right the 20 MOA should make no difference if you can zero at 200 yards . If you have MOA turrets on the scope send it back and ask for a replacement MOA dot reticule and then just learn your holdovers in MOA . That way if you change bullets or powder loads at any point you can adjust your holdovers accordingly . [/QUOTE]
