How do you guys measure the sight height. I used a set of calibers and measured the center of the bolt to the center of the scope. But still seem to be off using my target turrets at 500 yards. I have to adjust up a little like .5MOA. using the Sierra Infinity program.

Ballistic programs, computer or the "old fashioned" ones on paper are just a guide. The only way to conform your actual zero at 500yds is to shoot at 500yds. Your actual adjustments will change more that .5 MOA from day to day.

bigcountry,

Your method for measuring sight height is correct for all ballistics trajectory calculations.
