[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1074138, member: 34084"] There is no mystery here. It's the same bullet trajectory either way. The taller rings move the point of impact down by 0.5". When you dial in 0.5" of bullet up to get back to the same zero at 100 yds, that also raises the POI at longer ranges. Compared to the POI with the shorter rings, the taller rings raise the POI by 0.5" at 200 yds, 1" at 300 yds, etc. It's just simple geometry. Or you could just use the lower rings, raise the POI another 0.33" at 100 yds, and get the same drop at 300 yds that you would have gotten with the higher rings. [/QUOTE]
