    If i remember in time one target will be marked in inches vertically at 400yrds

    Then you can adjust your velocity in your ballistic calculator to match your actual inches of drop

    That sounds entirely to technical for me
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Dial for 400yrds
    Hit target
    Measure projectile strike on target (in inches) through your scope

    Change velocity to match actual projectile strike height

    For the guys that need to check velocity etc

    This target will be mounted vertically using a builders level (so you can check your scopes level) and be set up at 400yrds

    It has a 4 inch dot with graduations descending in inch values from the centre of the dot down to 77 inches

    Aim at the dot without dialling, your ACTUAL projectile point of impact can be observed and recorded by you or someone on a spotting scope

    After that you can, (if you want to) just dial half the moa required and record your projectiles drop in inches, that data then enables you to check your scopes elevation graduation value.

    Adjust your velocity etc in your ballistic calculator to match your actual point of impact, then continue to harass the rest of duncans gongs

    That sounds very scientific. The only problem is it wants straight over my head. Special case me.
