[QUOTE="doctordoctor, post: 516217, member: 31961"] I have a few hundred 168 grain SMK's to use in my remington 700 XCR but I need to start using 175's for 800-1000 yard targets. I will be taking a precision rifle course at Front Sight this December and we shoot from 100-1k. I in haste purchased 168's not thinking about shooting out to a K. So my question is.... Is there a way that I can keep my zero using my 168's and when needed "compensate" for the 175's when I get out to the distances that require them??? I was hoping/thinking that I could just add a few clicks for the difference in ballistics. Meaning I look at my table for 168 and then for the 175's and I would just add the MOA click difference between the 2 to my 168 settings/zero. I hope this makes sense. I know that re-zeroing and actuall shooting data is the way to go and what not, but i may not have the opportunity to re-zero nor shoot before I get out to those distances. Plus I have tons of 168's that I want to use before I fully transition to the 175's. The longest range I have is 500 yards. FYI: I am using a Night Force NXS NP-R2 scope with the REM 700 XCR long range 26" barrel. THANKS!!! Dr. B [/QUOTE]
