[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3276763, member: 15054"] All guns will have a tad different velocity for a load and the best thing to do with any of them is to set up a target at 100 yards and get the scope hitting it on the nose. If you plan on shooting farther then get a large cardboard box like on a refrigerator came in. Set it at your max distance say it is 500 yards. You know at 100 you will hit the dead center of the X. Now move to 200 yards and aim at the X and shoot 3 shots. Hold the rifle and scope steady and place the crosshair center at the X and notice where the 3 bullets landed on the reticle. You can turn the power ring up or down to get it right on a hash mark. Try to follow me here. If it is 2 hash marks down at 7 power then you could hold 2 hash marks above the X and should hit it if you were 200 yards out. I do that for all my rifles and write down the distances and power settings on paper and tape it to the rifle stock. After you do that with the load you found most accurate you have no excuses for missing the shot. You need to cover it with clear tape so it does not wear out. Little worn out like this on my .308. I got another scope so I need to do it all over again anyway. [ATTACH=full]143996[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
