[QUOTE="Full Curl, post: 1865482, member: 47602"] I recently purchased my first turret style scope… Leupold VX6-HD-4-24-52 TMOA reticle. It’s going on a 300RUM. I have always shot hold over type ballistic reticles but they could only go so far before running out of reticle at distance. Hence why I went to a turret style scope. I understand the concept behind a turret dial the range scope but I just want to make sure I’m thinking through the sight in process correctly. I installed the scope this weekend so I’m ready to sight it in now. I’d like to keep the process as simple as possible. I plan on zeroing it at 100 or 200 yards. Is there a way to zero it to maximize my remaining MOA elevation room within the scope? Or do I just dial it as needed to zero? The manual states TMOA reticle’s hatch marks each equal 1 MOA. I’m assuming this changes in a SFP scope depending on power setting? How do I then find out my number of clicks for POI at known distances? Just use a ballistic program and input everything? I do use Strelok Pro for most of my load development work. I just want to make sure I do this as efficiently as possible without burning up a ton of ammo. Any helpful advice or tips to walk me through the process would be much appreciated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
