[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 901183, member: 10291"] Given you scope is OK, and there are no conditions like wind effecting the trajectory, I would expect the answer lies in the BC/velocity settings. The only problem is that it would take a fairly large adjustment to the BC to effect the amount that you are off at 500 yards. The issue is more likely an error in both BC and velocity. The Berger/Litz BC's are generally accurate and would unlikely require the amount of correction to bring your 500 yard impact down. Having had a similar issue a few years ago I found that I solved the problem by first recording the current dopes. Next, adjust your velocity in the ballistic program, in your case, higher so your impact at 500 yards is corrected. Your program will now show your 700-1000 yards dopes low. Now adjust your BC lower to try and replicate the values of your original dopes for the longer ranges. I may take some trial and error. IMO [/QUOTE]
