[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 470468, member: 24624"] I agree with sp6x6. But, you also need to have a scope with turrets intended for frequent adjustments and having good repeatability. If that's not the case, then you need a new scope or a reticule with Mil Dots or BDC hash marks as a reference. Using a ballistic calculator is a good first step. But, you can also sight in at 100m and then move to 200m and shoot a group aiming dead center again and then measure the actual drop. Keep aiming and shooting the same way every time. Don't fiddle with your scope. You just want to shoot tight groups and then measure how much they drop as you move out farther. Then, move to 300m and do the same. You really need a good range finder as well. Stepping off the distance or just guessing will not be productive. If you're using factory ammo, the manufacturer should also have velocity/drop table information out to some reasonable distance. It won't exactly match your rifle. But, you should be able to know how big your target paper needs to be to allow for the expected drop. The farther out you shoot and record decent groups, the better your actual drop table will be. If you can collect sufficient data, you can have custom turrets or perhaps a custom retcule made. If you can't get consistent groups beyond some distance, then turrets and reticules won't help. Hope this helps! Richard [/QUOTE]
