LAST EDITED ON Jul-09-07 AT 08:35AM (MST)[p]I just purchased this scope for a Tikka T3 in .270WSM.
I am shooting factory ammo - Winchester Supreme 140g Accubonds. This ammo is quite a bit flatter shooting than the B&C reticles are set for at 300, 400, 450 & 500.
Does anyone here know how many inches of drop those tic marks are actually calibrated for (at large triangle [14x])?
For example, I played with it a little bit this weekend with some measurements on paper I think 400 is calibrated for a 20" drop - zeroed at 200 - crosshair dead on the target the 400 yard triangles fell on 20" below the bull. (the ammo trajectory however is about 16" however. I am trying to find out what actual yardages are dead on for each of those tic marks?
I am looking for something a little more accurate than me eyeballing it trying to look at 1" squares at 400 & 500 yards through the scope?
