[QUOTE="phillietimothy, post: 460615, member: 29871"] Thank you JE Custom and Buffalobob. I appreciate your response and your time. I understand the concept of verification by shooting and ballistic matching/cartridge specific turrets. The dial on the turrets appeared to have markings uniformly spaced. The 1/4 moa clicks have to be consistent and repeatable. Bullet trajectory does not change consistently between different ranges. For instance bullet drop between 500 - 600 yards would be flatter than say between 700 and 800 yards. How can dialing different ranges reflect that? In a controlled environment, if I am zeroed for 500 yards(point of aim/point of impact converge) If I simply turn the dial to 6,7, or 8(changing point of aim) if I am on at 600, 700, and 800 yards, that would mean the bullet drop between 500-600, 600-700, and 700-800 would be exactly the same. I think I am confused about clicks and dialing perhaps, I do grasp that choosing an appropiate zero and cartridge for your intended application goes a long way to dial in success. I am trying to be overly descriptive in hopes that some of you can see where I'm misunderstanding. [/QUOTE]
