[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 173118, member: 4557"] Kirby, your drop and windage adjustments are propably write. I was using the drop chart that was developed by the owner. His rifle was zeroed in at 200 yards and at 300 yards his chart had 1MOA. When I took the shot at 350 yards, I held just a tad over the varmint. So, your 1.8MOA is probably correct. His chart showed 2.25MOA for 400 yards, 4.25MOA for 500 yards, 6MOA for 600 yards, 7.75 MOA for 700 Yards, 10.25 for 800 yards. I will admit I held a tad over everytime I took a shot and when it came to wind, I used the hash marks on the MLR reticle. When I took the shot at 815 yards I did hold a tad over as I mentioned, I used the first hash mark on the elevation bar. I believe each hash mark on the MLR reticle is 2 MOA so that would have made the full adjustment to 11.25 MOA. So your caculations sounds right. Regarding windage I will admit we only had 1MOA in the scope, however, the wind was very calm and I don't even think it was even blowing when I took the shot. On some of the other shots at this range, I did use more adjustment by using the hash marks on the MLR. Kirby, your drops and windage adjustments are correct. The conditions were very calm and perfect the day of the shooting. Wind was really never an issue. The day was awesome as far as conditions. This is a perfect set up when the conditions are calm, however, I will agree with you this is not the set up you want to use in a windy long range situation. Kirby, I will admit,I could have kept a little better notes during the shoot.

Kirby, thanks for taking the time to read and once again I really do appreciate your expert opinion. Also, once again I want to say I am sorry for the past stuff that happened between us. It was stupid and it should have never went that far. Once again I am sorry, and I look forward to hearing about your Allen Mag and your builds.
