[QUOTE="khmplus, post: 2930928, member: 121867"] I would zero the rifle at 100yds, then set up a tall target at 500 yds, annd without adjusting the scope, aim at the bullseye near the top of the target, take several shots, and measure the drop. That’s the actual ballistics. To check the scope, back at 100 yds, turn maybe 24 clicks, or whatever is supposed to result in 6 inches high, then shoot several shots to check, and then calculate actual elevation change per click. These two things would give you good information to work with. [/QUOTE]
