[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 870629, member: 34084"] ^^^This! Calibrating turrets using the "shooting the box" method seems like a waste of good ammunition too me. Getting good accuracy requires 3-5 shots per reticle position, which adds up to a box of ammunition. Scott E's method is much more accurate and costs nothing. If you can set it up easily, then it's a much better method. Having to hold the rifle in a vise and sight a calibration target is inconvenient for me, however. I prefer to use a Bushnell boresight collimator to calibrate turrets. That requires that the collimator be calibrated, which is an extra step, but I can do the entire process indoors using almost anything to hold the rifle. Turret hysteresis or failure to track smoothly can also be diagnosed using the boresight collimator. Even failure to hold point of aim often can be debugged using a boresight collimator when the stock is the culprit. [/QUOTE]
