[QUOTE="kindabigdeal, post: 1395393, member: 50218"] I am far from an expert, but....I think it is possible by adjusting your power setting on your scope and your zero. The example I have is my 300 RUM has a leupold vari x 6, 3-18x44. I bought it for hunting but like you I enjoy dabbling in the long range. The scope has a varmint reticle in it(bdc). So Leupold says that calibers like 308, 30-06 etc, you should zero at 200 and put the power ring to 14 and the scope should line up at 200,300,400,500 but for 300rum and calibers that shoot around 3400 fps zero at 300 and the lines should line up at 300,400,500 and 600 but the power setting needs to be at 18 or maxed out. ( I havent shot it yet to confirm though, thats just what the book says. I just got that scope). I dont know if you can figure yours out like that but your manufacturer should be able too. You need to know where the lines are in the scope, how far apart they are etc, thats all on the manufacturer. The problem with 1/8 clicks is you will probably run out of clicks before getting to 1000 if you dont zero at 300. I dont know forsure, im sure there are guys here with a better idea. Hopefully they can correct my misguided info if I am wrong. A call to your manufacturer might be the best first step. [/QUOTE]
