[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 862564, member: 10291"] Thanks Roy, I will send sn e-mail off to Shooter. I began testing turret accuracy when I started shooting my 6.5x284's several years ago. Shooters were reporting velocities that were much higher than I was getting. I have had a number of different scopes that were typically 3-6% higher that stated. Mostly NF and MK4's. Interestingly, and perhaps just luck, I had mounted Huskemaws on my 6.5x284's and both scopes were within 1% of the stated 1/3MOA/click. When I got my Magnetospeed I retested my velocities and drop data for these rifles and they were right on the actuals that were calculated in the ballistic program. I was surprised when I tested my three NF scopes, all running 4-5% high. This error overstates my velocities by 40-60FPS in my 300WM when actual drops are determined during field testing. In the case of my current 300WM it required a 1MOA correction at 1000 yards. I suspect that many of the "true" velocities that are quoted by shooters may not be so true because of turret error.
