[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 2337289, member: 19988"] If you know your exact LOS. Do not touch your elevation turret until you get your angle. You can use a protractor w/ some kit string and a fishing weight to get your angle. I have all my rifles zeroed at 100 yards so that I may get better accuracy when calculating angles. So if you know your LOS was 500 yards and your angle was 10 degrees. No matter the distance the cosine for 10 degrees stays the same at .985 cosine. So multiple your cosine of .985 X ( LOS yards ) 500 = 492.5 yards. Another word no hold over or under was needed. [/QUOTE]
