Scope height measurement does not need to be exact. Close is fine.
Help- I'm new to scope dialing and am a little perplexed at initial results.

The data I put earlier I have 2.1" for scope height and that is about as low as possible with a typical .800 muzzle diameter factory taper. A target taper would be higher still. This matters somewhat an 1/8th to 3/16 won't kill you but it helps get your solver closer faster if your right on the money with your static inputs

Watch this video. Todd does training for the military and discusses bore height measurement input in this video.

On the charts he posted for his ballistic program, I thought it showed "1.0" might be mistaken...headhunter

Good to know about the scope to bore height, I can stop using my calipers and just use an accurate ruler......didn't know it was that flexible..Thanks, rsbhuter
I'm thinking he has MOA turrets but perhaps the scope Mfg.s rounded up the clicks to IPHY?

Nightforce uses a 112 thread per inch turret to have a repeatable accurate moa correction. They have 10 moa per revolution in the shv.

Ur N/F scope will have a minimum height of 1.75". Make sure u measure from the ctr of ur bore to the ctr of the scope.

Try changing your BC to Litz G7 instead of the G1 on your ballistic solver.....

That Ballistic AE app he's running. He can go down on the app and touch the velocity bar. It will let you true the velocity by plus or minus bullet impact at the yardages being shot.
