    Hi Mac. Yeah I hadn't put much thought into it but after doing some research using a formula found online it suggests I should have dialed for closer to 390y and not 450. Of course I'm only estimating the angle at approx 30°

    Tikka 6.5prc vx5 setup with CDS. I'm thinking I'll ditch the CDS and go back to standard dial now I know there's more science to it.
