[QUOTE="NomadPilot, post: 334271, member: 19896"] Short answer: No. Using your example... I ran some numbers with [URL="http://www.remington.com/products/ammunition/ballistics/remington_shoot_ballistics_software.asp"]Remington Shoot[/URL] and a basic 308. The drop for a 308 at 300 is 26.55", and the drop at 500 is 82.42". To zero your rifle at 300, you want to be 5.21" high at 100. To zero at 500, you want to be 12.65" high at 100. If you were to zero 26.55" high at 100 (to match the drop at 300), your zero would be something around 775. If you were 82.42" high at 100 (to match your drop at 500), your zero would be something past 1000 - Rem Shoot doesn't go high enough to figure it out! [/QUOTE]
