[QUOTE="RockyMtnHigh, post: 840191, member: 41215"] I agree that it should be capable of providing a solution beyond the ranges I'm describing. I just calculated the elevation correction as 0.93023256 meaning that my scope could have click values representing only ~93% of a true click. This is based on just one observation taken at 800 yards, and I find it hard to believe that a quality scope like a Schmidt & Bender would be that off. The interesting thing is that the ballistic solution I arrive at after correcting for the elevation factor is very, very close to what I got when I back solved for the velocity variation. Is there a very accurate way to check your turret values? Is this preferable to me adjusting the velocity variation? Am I using the velocity variation correctly? Thanks again. I hadn't thought about this because when I first tested the scope for tracking out of the box at a close range it was more or less right on. I guess if it's just slightly off that is exacerbated at longer distances. [/QUOTE]
