[QUOTE="MOJO67, post: 1505672, member: 68532"] Thanks for the input. I sure hope it's not my scope. Went the NF route hoping to avoid these type of issues. Guess I need to look into how to perform a box test. As for checking velocity, I used my pro chronograph and ran appx 10 shots across it when sighting in at 100 and took the avg, which was right about 2600 fps. In regard to inputs, I put all the basics(sight height, alt, pressure, temp, velocity, bullet weight, BC, etc. After the output was generated, I utilized the data to shoot 3 shot groups at 200,300,400 and 500 yards. This is where I discovered the discrepancy at 500. The barrel is relatively new and only had 25 rounds through it when I started the test. Although, it was clean when I started my test, maybe by the time I went out to 500 it was fouled bad enough to create the high impacts?? Regarding the data I was using. My Ballistic App showed I would have -58.63 inches or 11.20 MOA of drop at 500. Sorry for the stupid question, but wouldn't this equate to 56 clicks up on my elevation turret(which is what I used)? Below is the ballistic chart I utilized based on my data.
