[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1743333, member: 10291"] In your situation, with access limited to a 100 yard range, I would double check my mounts and bedding, then put my scope a thorough 100 yard box test and tall test to at least a 10 MOA elevation. I would then test my zero/first shot accuracy on a few separate days, checking repeatability and and velocity/ES. As others have mentioned, I would use one(or two, for confirmation) of the well proven ballistic apps, loaded for your current location. Finally, if the 500 yard dope at your current location was, for example, 7.5 MOA elevation, I would confirm the scope adjustments on your 100 yard target in 100 yard interval setting on your scope. When I reached camp, I would load the environmentals and would confirm my zero. I would then make a strong effort to make a few confirmation shots out to my expected max range. IMO. [/QUOTE]
