[QUOTE="GW Hunter, post: 1328646, member: 90347"] I finally swapped out my 35 year old 3-9x40 Leupold for a Vortex Viper HS in 4-16x44. Now I'm trying to understand the correct use of the elevation turret. So for example.... (using Barnes manual #4 with a B.C. of .390) My muzzle velocity is 3300'/sec. If my zero is at 100 yds, then at 400 yds my P.O.I. is 21.20" low, basically 21"... To have my P.O.I. dead on at 400 do I raised the elevation 84 clicks (1/4" per click)? I'm confused because if my zero is 300 yds then I would be 3" high at 100 and 9" low at 400 yds. Do I then raise the elevation 36 clicks from there? The numbers don't make sense to me when you compare the different zero points. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
