[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 234931, member: 12443"] seischens. did you get all that? theres things you didnt include that are important. i would assume your rather new at this or you wouldnt be asking. dont ever be embarrased to ask a question. a dumb question is better than a dumb mistake. first, your better off w/ a 100 yd. zero. once you sight in, make sure you loosen the tiny set screws on both turret knobs and turn them to line up with the zero and retighten. now you can always return to your 100 yd. zero from any distance. 4 clicks = i min. or 1" @100 yds. also = 2" @ 200 3"@300 4" @400 and 10"@ 1000yds. in order to get an accurate chart, you would need the b/c of the bullet, and the muzzel velocity. for that you need access to a chronograph. if you can find a place to shoot out to 500 yds. like say a pipeline or powerline. you can make up your own chart very easily. make up a 4ftx8ft wood frame and cover it w/ homosote. get a roll of table cloth paper and staple it on . set it up so its stable and measure off 100 yd intervels. starting at 100 shoot at 2, 3, 4, and 500 yds. and measure the bullet drop at each location from the same bullseye you could use 50 yd, intervals which would be even better. you will have an accurate chart for your gun w/ your load. i would shoot 3 shot groups at each and mark each carefully so as not to get confused later. you could keep going as far as you like. years ago, this was the only means we had, and it worked just fine. by the time your finished you'll be an expert.
