[QUOTE="adam, post: 215566, member: 9382"] I may have missed something, here so if i am steppin on toes here, please forgive me. I do see that you said the erector was bad. Doing a little bit of calculation with JBM, and using the data in the first post. I ran a calculation in 25 yd increments, and then changed the atmospheric pressure by 1 to see the change in trajectory. Between 500 and 525 yards there was 7 inches of drop. changing the pressure to a lower value changed the trajectory flatter (higher impact point) by 2 inches. I don't want to assume you did not field verify your data, as that information was not included in your post, but could it be that a load developed in a lower altitude with higher pressure, combined with a few yards of range error changed the point of impact? A line of sight angle of 10 degrees also had about a 1" higher impact at 500 yds. Again, I don't want to claim there was not a problem with your scope when the factory said that there was, just curious if this could have been a factor as well? [/QUOTE]
