[QUOTE="ropeNshoot, post: 1145108, member: 70717"] I'm shooting a Rem 700 in .300wm. It's got the 5r barrel and the B&C stock. I've got a Schmidt and Bender PMII 3-20x50 mounted on a 20moa badger rail and badger rings. I was shooting at 466yds with Winchester factory ammo. My first three shot group was 3.25" across but landed 18" low and 5" right. At 100 yds .1mil = .36" so if I multiply .36x4.66 (for the distance) I get 1.677. I figured that's what each click is worth at 466yds. Since I needed to raise my group 18" I added 11clicks based on the math above. I fired my second three shot group and it landed 7" high. I made some adjustments and got the next group in the center but is my math way off or do I just not understand how to make a proper adjustment? Why was the second group so high? After the third group, I went hunting and shot a doe at 470yds. One shot kill. I just want to know why my second group was so high. I've had this happen with all of my rifles while making drop charts. Any help? [/QUOTE]
