Guys,

This may be the dumbest question of the month but its driving me nuts.

Page 566 states:
Zero (100-500 yds) This is the path of the bullet above or below(-) the crosshairs of the scope for the listed range. Each of the last five colums is for a different "zero" range.
I am looking at page 668. It states the following for a 250 gr bullet at 2500 fps.

100 200 300 400 500
-5.0 0.0 6.7 14.4 23.4

I know there is know way the bullets drops 5 inches at 100 yards and is then 23 inches high at 500 yards. What's up????????

Thanks,

SkiBum - Hope you didn't loose too much sleep over this last night. Just about time to hit the slopes, eh? You should be reading these tables vertically (like catching some air off a cliff) from top to bottom. So . . . with the 200 yd zero you should read:

0 yds -1.5"
100 yds +2.5"
200 yds 0.0"
300 yds -10.0"
400 yds -28.7"
500 yds -58.4"

FYI - The 250 gr partition is quite awesome. I have recovered several. I can only get 2,550 fps with max book loads. Rest easy my friend.

Yep. It was the dumbest question of the month!!

Thanks Lars.
