[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 890008, member: 51650"] Scope, temp, BC, all these factors multiply. In sighting in many (mine and friends) scopes I have never had exact movement of the group on target. As most people want their rigs sighted @ 200yds the movement should be two clicks per inch. I cannot recall that ever being the case. If memory serves the movements were always more, i.e. dial in adjustments, group moves too far, dial back to center up group. This is for typical hunting non - AO scopes. My ancient Weaver T16 is closest I remember but it was a smidgen off too. It didn't move enough as I recall. It's currently dialed in for a single load @ 100yds and I have't change it in years, probably frozen with rust at this point. Don't know what turrets you have on the scope but I would check the screws just to be sure before I fired the next round. Probably do it at the bench just before shooting. I'm kinda annul that way. Found some loose scope ring screws time before last. It was actually a surprise as I Blue Locktite all my scope screws. My vote is still BC = BS. KB [/QUOTE]
