[QUOTE="snojnke, post: 864478, member: 58510"] So I was out zeroing and trying to verify drops today, I should add that I am new at this. I was working with a new load using berger 180gr hunting, 73gr of H-1000 at 3070fps. I was at 5000 ft. temp was 46. There was about an 8mph wind at 11:00 look angle was 1 degree. First issue I encountered was a zero of 1.25" high at 200 yards; I forgot an allen wrench to remove my turret to adjust my zero, remember i said I'm new at this. So I pretended that it was dead on at 200 and entered data into my ballistic program which by the way of is Shooting Sollusion...adjustments were as follows: 396 yards 3.86 moa which shot 2.5" high 505 yards 6.02 moa which shot 3.5 high 590 yards 8.01 moa which shot 4.5" high So do you think if I could have corrected my zero the correction would have been closer? Also all shots at all ranges past 200yrds were 5.5" right and no calculations called for more than .21moa of windage adjustment. I can understand if it was just a zero problem but what about wind?
