[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 565528, member: 21068"] Something is definately not right here!! If you were hitting dead on at 280-290 and dialed .5mil it would result in being nearly 5" high at 300. You'd also have to be hitting dead on at approx 280-290 for 1.5 mils to give you 7" high at 475. Assuming the input you gave is correct, that's what I get from the my programs.............you [U]can't[/U] be zero'd at 200 for this to work out on the ballistic program. You're more likely zero'd at 275-300 yds. try that zero in your program and then shoot 500, you should be approx 1.2 mils low or 22" low if you dont dial a thing. If that works out, use your program dopes and you should be gtg to 600 without any additional data. Are you [U]sure[/U] your scope is moving the reticle the true and advertised amounts??? I've never been a fan of close range zero's, because unless you're shooting a rifle that will print a one hole group at 100 and 200 yds, there's too much room for error in deciding if you're really truly zero'd at precisely those distances. Ballistic programs seem to work much better given the difference in drop between two points, and let that determine your "zero" distance. [/QUOTE]
