[QUOTE="matemike, post: 1000140, member: 78984"] I'm learning too but I do things in MOA. Together we may be able to figure this out. First thing's first; it would be nice to know your zero distance before you start clicking up to 1,000. carrying on in study hall... If you needed to come up 10.5 mil I calculate that you needed ~36.1 MOA adjustment. Now I can presume you're using a 300 yard zero because that is my click value to come up for my Savage 308 starting with a 300 yard zero to get to 1,000. Actually it's 36.2, but I just count 145 clicks (1/4 moa per click) on my turret. This always gets me on target. I may make single click adjustments from there. Since you're using a 20 MOA base you should have already had the scope dialed down that far to get back to rifle zero, then click up ~5 MOA to get the 300 yard zero. 20-5 means 15 MOA left to go to get the scope's reticle back to it's mechanical center. Subtract 15 MOA from 36.1....and you truly needed to come up only 21.1 MOA (6.1 mil) from center of the scope's reticle zero. Yes you still had to click up and count 36 MOA (10.5 mil) but you should've been starting from the other side of the reticle center and had plenty of room if your scope's specs are true. I shoot a 308 to 1,000 starting with a 300 yard zero and using a scope with a total of 70 MOA height adjustment (35 up, 35 down) on a 20 MOA base and never ran into maximum click value of the scope. Experts, am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
