[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 284369, member: 3756"] Iron Worker, if your distance is exactly 100 yards, and your parallax has been adjusted right for 100 yards, your drops from point of aim should be: For 1st one: 3.6" 2nd one: 7.2" 3rd one: 10.8" 4th one: 14.4" When you took the readings at 10X, the scope was either moving or the parallax was not adjusted right. The spreading you were getting was: 4"; 5.5"; 5.5"; 4" There is no consistency. I think, if you set your power ring at [B][COLOR=Red]11x,[/COLOR][/B] then you should be reading in 3.6" increments with consistency. [COLOR=Red]Once you know at what power range you're getting the 3.6"[/COLOR], do not get a drop chart telling you how many inches the bullet drops; get a drop chart telling you how many mil-dots you need of adjustments to hit the target. No need to complicating things. [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/6gwwv6.jpg[/IMG] Example: You range a target at 500 yards. The table above tell you the bullet would impact 33.9" below the target... I don't want that... It also says it will impact at 1.9 mil-dots low... that info is what I want, now I raise my sights almost 2 mil-dots and let it fly... I hope that helps. :) [/QUOTE]
