I was out shooting prairie dogs with a 6.5x284 and at 414 yards i was having problems with elevation.
Conditions:
Baro: 27.14
Temp: 77*
Humidity: 20%
5* angle shooting up.
sighted in shooting right on at 95 yards in 27.45 Baro, 77*, 0* angle
Using 140 grain Berger VLD at 2839 fps (chronographed in same conditions as sight in).
Shooter called for 5.7 MOA needed only 4.75 MOA
Using a Hawke sidewinder 8-32x56. the only problem that i can find is maybe the clicks on the scope arent exactly 1/4 MOA. But that would mean that the clicks are only .2125 MOA instead of .2618 which is almost exactly 1/4 MOA
