[QUOTE="bozoben, post: 2239818, member: 93139"] I'm fairly new at this game and this is what I just got done doing (yesterday actually). First things first obviously and made sure my scope/mount/rings were tight and torqued. Then confirmed a dead on zero with 3 rounds in 3/4" @ 200 yards. Then I put all my data into a ballistics calculator to get me a preliminary drop chart that would get me on paper. Planned to take groups @ 600 and change input data to match my true drops to get me on paper @ 1000. Set up a target @ 600 and shot a group. Group happened to be 5.3" centered vertically but 3 inches left. Not worrying about windage at this point, just drop so I was happy. Didn't make any adjustments to the chart. At that point if I needed to adjust drops I planned to plug different velocities into my calculator to match my true drops. Put up a target @ 1000 and shot my last 3 rounds. 3 rounds in a 7 inch group centered about 5 inches left and 5 inches high of bulls eye. At this point I could make some very minor adjustments to my chart to get dead on @ 1000 but to be perfectly honest I was tickled to death with it just the way it was. I think I'll send a few more rounds down range on different days before I adjust anything. Been working on this rifle for quite some time now and I'm very pleased to be able to shoot it under 1 MOA out to a grand. I think this is more or less what you are talking about doing. Worked for me. [/QUOTE]
