So my brother in law and I are doing an elk hunting trip in Colorado in October this year and I'm starting to pick out ammo and start shooting so I'm comfortable. I have my rifle zeroed at 200 yards and as I look at ballistic data for my ammo I know the bullet will drop 7.4 in at 300 yards and 21.6 in at 400 yards. I've verified my ammo still has 1500 ft lbs of force at 400 yards. I want to start practicing some shots at that range so if I'm forced to shoot that far, I'm comfortable with making it. I'm using a redfield revenge 3x9 (1/4 moa) i don't want to waste a bunch of ammo shooting at 400 yards while dialing in the scope so my question is, is it as simple as turning my dial "x" amount of clicks? I ask because 1/4 in moa is for 100 yards so at 200 yards it's 1/2 moa and so on. Can I just turn it 43 clicks ( 22.5 in at 1/2 in moa) and be close or does that number change because at 300 yards it's 3\4 in moa and at 400 yards it's 1 in moa) would that reduce how many clicks I go? I'm telling myself it's not that simple and has to be more complicated. Haha any tips or advise are appreciated!
