Hopefully someone can help me out with my turret settings, as I,m A bit confused!
My Ruger v/t is zeroed in for bang on at 100 yards and shes doing 4000fps. Now using the ballistic calculator I set my turret for .6 for a 200yard hit (just over 2 clicks). With this setting I was hitting almost 2inch's low at 200 yards. To obtain dead on hits at 200 I had to come up 1.8 on the turret ( see were I have moved the 200 tag on the turret. it was at .6)
Loads have been verified for velocity etc. After new setting had been made I had no problem make head shots at 200, Made for fanatic day of shooting. Here,s a extra pic of were I was set up. If that,s ok

Re: Turret setting up the poo!!
i have a Bushnell elite tactical scope on my 204 and a bushnell arc range finder and all i do is range the target read the moa and adjust the turret and it allways spot on the only thing i can think of is you turret is not in moa , just checked my range finder and .6 is right for 100 yard zero .on my scope thats 2 clicks up, you might have to range different yards and and adjust your scope so its hitting spot on at that range and takes notes cheers bazz

Re: Turret setting up the poo!!
Thanks bazz for the reply! I have the same Bushnell rangefineder arc. on mine, at the bottom I have a number on the left a arrow in the middle and then another number on the right. When I range 200yard on the right it says 2IN and the left says -1 . Is this the same as yours?. The mode setting is on h. My scope is a leupold 6.5-20-40 with the range style turret, I still have the standard tall turrets as well, I sure there all 1/4 clicks adjustments
