[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 20141, member: 11"] Here is a question I could use help with that is related to this topic. If my .308 shoots the crosshairs at 1100 yards and I have my turret adjusted all the way up (lets say 38 moa) how do I find out what distance the lower 5 dots will be zeroed at? It is an odd problem for me because instead of matching Mils to range (3.6 @100 yards) I am trying to match range to Mils and intersecting a probable trajectory. I will restate the question another way because I realy would like to know how to figure this out and I'm afraid I am not asking it very well. If I shoot with my gun zeroed at 1100 yards and I come up 1 dot where (about) will I have to put my target to shoot center? Now if I come up to the second dot where will I have to put my target and so on. I would like to add that I have been using the ballistics program at the link above for months now and I love it. Thanks to whom ever posted that thing originaly. Here is my actual data entered onto that program. Cal .308 win Bullet Nosler J4 Muz vel 2575 fps Weight 168 gr BC .462 Alt 3100 ft Temp 25 deg Scope height 1.5" zero@ 100 yds I have confirmed the drops on paper out to 400 yards and so far it is right on. I also cranked up the turret to the end of its adjustment and shot a rock wall at almost exactly 1100 yards and shot within a 1 foot circle of where I was aiming. That is where I came up with that distance for the above question. Thanks for any help I can get. [/QUOTE]
