[QUOTE="T3ninja, post: 1922065, member: 95079"] Not sure if it has been mentioned BUT.... check your scope to be certain your click values are correct. This might get long winded here, but I’ll try it. Confirm your 100 yard zero. Then shoot [B]@100 yards[/B] using your estimated 400, 500, and 600 yard “dope” and measure up to your groups from your aiming point. Make sure your scope is tracking exactly like it should, so when you actually shoot those distances, you know the scope is true. If it checks out, Now, go shoot your 600 yard target. If you’re on @600 you know you’ll be on at 4-500. You could even do this [USER=23446]@300[/USER]. Shooting [USER=23446]@300[/USER] yards, dial in your 400-500 yard “dope” shoot a group and make sure it’s the correct height above your 300 yard aiming point. If you’re off @600 like you’re concerned about, then triple check your data input on the app, maybe cross reference a couple different ones. Then adjust your MV accordingly. I know you have a magneto, as do I. But sometimes it is off albeit not much. So, I’d adjust the MV to fit where the bullet impacts. [/QUOTE]
