[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 573245, member: 10391"] I don't know what to make of your post. Are you saying that if I sight my rifle in at 400 yards using 10 power then turn then power down to 4 my point of impact at 400 yards will change? If that is what you're saying and that's the way I read your post your ill informed. It does not make any difference whether the scope is first or second focal plane. Once a zero is established on any power at any range the zero will remain the same throughout the power range of the scope. A drop chart can be generated using the rifles zero of 100 yards or 600 yards. The zero has nothing to do with the accuracy of a drop chart. The drop chart will reflect either a dial up or dial down or hold over or hold under depending on the zero. Now if you're talking about hold over using MOA or Mill Dots then there is a difference between first and second focal plane scopes. The marks in a first focal plane scope are correct throughout the power range whereas in the second focal plane the scope usually has to be set to the highest power or at 50% and do the math.
