scope unlevel (cant)

[whirlwindjml]

I would use all of the above recommended Plum line tasks to check. Then to test it ..... plum a line on a Target which will probably need to be big like butcher paper. 100 yards away so wind isnt a factor but it's far enough for the can't to show up on paper if it's still an issue. Put a dot in the middle to hold retical on. Run your elevation up 20 minutes and Fire and then run it down 20 minutes lower than the bullseye and Fire. If your bullet holes arent touching the plum line you have a (cant) problem still.
You could run two or three vertical Plum lines on the paper so you can double-check. You can thank Daryl Holland if that works for you.

I only run it up 10 and 20 moa, two shots each. You don't have to mess with your zero stop if you just dial up. Also measure with a tape after to verify your scopes clicks are accurate. At 10moa it should be 10.5" and at 20moa 21.0". Keep us posted!

Good point!

3" at 300 yds seems like a lot of impact shift due to cant. Could there be wind anywhere along the path of the bullet that could have pushed it?

Wind would have to be 25 mph+
