[QUOTE="windypants, post: 3085942, member: 121068"] I’ve fought this issue with a couple of rifles and have learned to do the reverse zero method. I input the velocity in my solver (Revic BR 4 in my case) and shoot at mid and long range targets. Mine are 656 and 1077 yards. If both are high or low by the same relative amount, I adjust the zero on my scope to fit. If, say, the midrange is on and the long range is low, I’ll true the velocity to the long range target and then have to adjust zero to get both on again. That takes a little tinkering sometimes. I only use the 100 yard target to check the windage zero. I don’t care if the elevation is off a little. Also, I’ve learned that if you true up your drops by changing the BC much, it really makes your wind solutions inaccurate in your solver. My 25 creed/135 Berger has a 2885 velocity but trued up to 2855 fps. [/QUOTE]
