[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 466838, member: 12443"] you dont need anything other than what you already have. make up a frame for a large target. 4' wide x 8' high would be fine. cover the frame with a soft material like a 4x8 sheet of foam insulation. buy a roll of paper table cloth at a party supply store. staple the paper onto the foam and place a target or an orange dot near the top. prop up the frame so it wont fall or blow over. i would zero the gun on that target @100yds. then back off and shoot at each distance you want for your chart , (without changing the scope) leave the zero @100yds for all shooting. i would shoot 3 shot groups at each distance. then simply measure the distance down to each group from the 100yd. zero. that will tell you exactly how many clicks you need at that distance from your 100yd zero. even if you chronagraph the gun and use a programed chart, it will probably need tweeking in your gun. i wouldnt advise doing this if you needed a 1000 yd chart, but for up to about 500 yds its as accurate as you can get. you can also use the target to see where your milldots hit with the various distances. its nice to be able to stare at holes in a target, it sometimes registers better.
