[QUOTE="Reno, post: 184084, member: 9214"] It will depend on what unit your scope uses. If it's 1/4 MOA(.25) per click, then it would equate out to 4 clicks per MOA. Most scopes are 1/4 minute clicks. If you read the turrets it will tell you. It may be labeled at 1/4 inch, which for the sake of argument is 1/4 MOA. 1 MOA at 100yards is roughly 1.047 inches. If it says 1/4 inch at 100yrds, then it is basically 1/4 MOA per click. So for 20.5 MOA you would need to dial in 82 clicks. While I am in no way and expert, not even close, depending on the scope you are using you may not have enough adjustment range to reach this point, depending on your scope and how much travel you used up zero'n your rifle. Also, you should try testing your drop chart at lesser ranges to verify before you try moving it out that far. Not all PC generated drop charts are gonna be 100% correct all the time. In my short experience, they never are. Need to kinda work the kinks out as you step up in target distance. Otherwise your going to burn a whole lot of ammo. As the old timers around where I hunt say, There is a lot more air around them, then there is in them =) On a side note, I'm sure one of the much more knowledgable guys on this board will pipe in and give a correct explanation....
