Thanks, I am using the Core lokt ammo actually. I sighted it in today. It was about 1 inch high at 50yds, but it looked more like 4 inches high at 100.

Could this be correct or do you think that my hold was off?
Indeed, it COULD BE +4" @ 100 and be +1" @ 50.... All rifles are at least somewhat different than the other ones...... Try it now at 200, and see what happens. And also at 300, if you have access to a surveyed 300 yards.

I never missed by overshooting with a zero that was +4" @ 100 and the same at 200. However, I believe anything that hits muchabove +4" at 100 and200 will have a maximum ordinate of+6" or perhaps more, and that's enough to cause midrange misses.
