[QUOTE="lomfs24, post: 363256, member: 20987"] Good info so far guys. BSL, I will try that with the scope. I am using a program or calculator that is in an excel spreadsheed that I downloaded from here. [url=http://sites.google.com/site/freeballisticcalculator/]Free Ballistic Calculator (FREE Ballistic calculator)[/url] FBC-v3.xls is the file name. I have the option of setting the click value and I also have the option of setting the MOA value against an inch. Apparently not all scopes agree on how many inches an MOA is. Who'da thunk it. I have also used JBM a lot as well as some of the calculators that some of the bullet makers have on their sites. And have come up with similar results. bigngreen, do I know that the target in question is really at 600 hundred? Well, that's what it says on the sign behind the shooting bench! LOL.
