Hey guys , awesome board here. New guy with some questions so bear with me please. We have been shooting at longer ranges 350-400yds, I hunt in thickets so that is a longways for me. I did pretty good but was wanting a little more so I took my Savage .243 and swapped over an Elite 4200 4x16x40 with turrets and zeroed the scope. We roughed it in at 50yds .5" low, according to my ballistic calculator that is a 100yd zero, 85gr BTSP@3200fps, we went back to 100yds and here is where we get weird, the group was 1.5" high at 100yds, great group, so I adjusted down 1.5" to should be zero, it moved me 1.5" below zero. Again a great group but 1.5" low, as I adjusted the scope back in to a 100yd zero it ended up at zero at the first setting that hit 1.5" high. I have never really messed with turrets before and I am confused. Anybody have any ideas or thoughts? I really like the idea of adjusting to yardage and being able to turn back to a zero, but after today and $65 of ammo I am thinking I may go with a ballistic plex??
Thanks
Thanks
