[QUOTE="Brent, post: 15690, member: 99"] BD, You are dealing with the angle the scope is set at in relation to the bore, so picture this; The scope is dead on the bull at 100 yards and rifle locked in place, you dial the scope 4 clicks or 1 moa and you see the crosshair move approximatly 1" on the bull. If the target was at 200 yards it would have moved 2", at 300 yards 3", 400 yards 4" and so on. The distance is multiplied, 200 yards is twice as far, 300 yds is three times as far and so on. At 25yds you'd need 16 clicks, or 4 moa to move it 1" just like you said. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] If your bullet drops 50" in 500 yards, then 1 moa is worth 5" of drop at 500 yards, so 5" goes into 50, 10 times, so 10 moa is needed to zero at 500 yards. 10moa times 5" each = 50" compensated for.
