[QUOTE="Ingwe, post: 1693609, member: 35101"] I recently purchased a Calibrated Ballistic Turret, calibrated for my handload, for my Swarovski X5 Scope. Yesterday I got the chance to shoot long range, and I'm not too happy with the results. Up to 300 yards the calibrations were DEAD ON but at 400 yards I found that I needed to use the 380 yard mark, since impact was 2"+- high using 400. At 600 I used 560 mark, since impact was 10"+- high using 600. At 800 I used 780 mark, since impact was 8"+- high using 800. At 1,000 I used the 925 mark, impact 56"+- high using 1,000 mark. It should be noted that the 1,000 target was on an upward angle of about 40 degrees, so i'm not sure if actual distance is 1,000 yards....maybe less due to angle, so maybe it isn't off as much as it seems. I do need to get out again to shoot again and proof these numbers but even still they are pretty far off of the calibrations on the turret. I entered the ballistic data VERY CAREFULLY when I ordered the turret so I'm not sure what's going on here? [/QUOTE]
