[QUOTE="gtcontender, post: 186163, member: 2648"] Matt Sure appreciate the info. I was under basically the same impression from all my reading and such. What I was shooting was 338 cal. 250 grain SMK at 2940fps chrono 10 feet from the muzzle. When I first shot it to check group and speeds it ended up being 2 inch high at 100 just because that was kinda where it ended up at on checking loads I left it there. Running some ballistics software on the net. That ended up showing about 240 sight in. I had a mildot scope on it and thought I would use the mildots as holdover points, 1 mil came in right at 400 yards. Well I finally got a chance to shoot it at 400 yard range and we was surprise when I shot with the 1 mil dot and hit extremely high, in fact it hit right on the crosshair center. So at that point I started second guessing everything about the 25MOA incline base must have something to do with throwing off the hold overs. I have to do some more shooting to check it some more when time premits. I am sure I was doing something wrong here.
