Basic Question
Scope (with zeroed target turrets) is currently sighted in at 600yds. .308, 165gr, @2600fps Adjustments are 1 click = .75" To adjust down to 100 and/or 200yds - how many clicks to get me somewhere on the 24" x 36" target backer? |

| "Clicks" are typically defined in terms of angular units (like MOA or MILs) not linear units (like inches). Do you know the angular units for a "click" on the optic in question? Something like 1 click = 1/4 moa or 0.1 mil are common... |

1 Click = .75" at what range?
What is the ballistic coefficient of the bullet you are shooting? Lots of variables. Just punching in some numbers, you need to come down 16 MOA. So if your scope does move in .75" increments at 100 yds, you need to come down 21-22 clicks. |

Second, stop thinking clicks and linear inches. What scope do you have? |

BC is .53 IIRC (and that's the problem) 21-25 is about what I needed to get it from 100yds onto the big 600yd backer. I should've kept more precise notes when I first started shooting out to 600yds and tested multiple weight bullets. I guess I can always zero the turret and start counting them down at the 100yd line. Thanks again |

Doc you need to stop thinking in clicks and inches. You are making your life much harder. Dialing down from 600 to 100 is a very simple thing. Do it many times at matches but you are making it very complicated. Zero at 100. Then dial to where you need to be and when done dial back down to your zero. |

Haven't moved back down to 200/100 yet. (Having too much fun at 600.)
BUT I've been reloading and shooting different weight bullets and successfully moving point of aim with the Mueller turrets. Yesterday I shot 165gr GameChangers and this morning shot 150gr MK's. The adjustments were easy and right on the money. Info went in my book. Thanks to all who've offered help. |
