[QUOTE="Charles A, post: 82918, member: 231"] The first row is your BDC, it should have a 1 also, if not zero your rifle at the lowest distance represented, for instance if its a 2, zero at 200 yards , then loosen the set screws, and rotate the dial to that number, and tighten the set screws. Your now zeroed and ready to use the BDC. The second row of numbers is Minute of Angle, in increments of you guessed it... One MOA. Even though your shooting the load the BDC was desinged for, it probably wont track perectly with the BDC, due too different BP, temp, muzzle velocity, etc. Therefor you still have MOA adjustments. Lets say, you shoot at 500yds, and even though you are using the "5" on the dial its still hitting low by 7 inches, well if you go "5 plus one", meaning your at the 5 mark plus one minute of angle, you'll only be 2in low, which is acceptable. Hope it helps. Note if you can it helps to zero at the longest or medium range you can and set the dial there. That will help keep the errors minimized at long range where it most critical. So if you can shoot 500yds zero there and follow the same instructions as above, but slip the dial to "5" instead of "2". [/QUOTE]
