[QUOTE="eric2381, post: 318534, member: 16051"] Thanks for replying. That's why I'm confused. I am exactly 2.5" high at 100 yds. And I need to go up 6 MOA to be bang on at 500 yds. If I lower the velocity to 2900 fps on the calculator, it puts me at 2.9" high at 100 yds, but I would be adjusting 6 moa up for 500 yds. This doesn't work, since I am keeping my 2.5" high at 100 yds zero. I'm sure it's something simple, I don't know why I can't get my head around it. I am 2.5" high at 100 yds. average velocity for 5 rounds is 3050fps elevation of 2365 feet above sea level centre of scope is 1.9" above the centre of the bore 180gr Nosler BT, advertised BC of 0.507 temp. of 60 degrees F I don't care if my zero is actually 270 yds, that is just what it worked out to be when I made my first range card. I do know that I want to stay at my 2.5" high at 100 yds. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
