[QUOTE="agrodgers, post: 1439600, member: 46003"] Thanks! one of those long time listener first time callers..... As to the scope. I'll double check things there (no stone unturned) but I was pretty careful when I mounted it making sure it wasn't canted (used scope levels) and aligned with the barrel (less precise but edge of house through scope and barrel) ....but anything is possible. May just have to buy the laser boresighter ;-). The confusion for me there would be if the 123gr SST's shoot the way I expect them too, why wouldn't any other bullet. Also, I have not been adjusting the scope when moving from 300 to 200, i.e. no changes to the top turret (or side, obviously) & I'm picking the same point of aim on the target. Once I figured out that it was jumping that far (center line shots at 300, then move back to 200 yds and nothing on the paper....except I'd see some half moon holes on the very edge of the left side sometimes, then added some paper out there) I started aligning my 300 and 200 yd aim point for the center horizontal line and the vertical line passing through the right upper/lower smaller diamonds on the target. Then I'd hit essentially center on the vertical at 300 and between the large diamond in the center and the vertical center between the left smaller diamonds. So I'm picking the same aimpoint with no adjustments. Obviously I get different vertical impacts for the distances but the horizontal diff's have been driving me crazy! I did have one issue with the scope while I was working up the load for the SST's and sent it back to Leupold, they checked it out and put new springs in the turrets. I shot 2 squares after that and it tracked really well so I'm thinking there isn't any issue there. But again, at least on these experiments I'm not moving those and I'm able to jump back and forth between 200-300 and they go right back to where I have grown to expect them. [/QUOTE]
