Note where the bullet struck. This will take some type of holding device, I use a rear bag and a front rest.... place the scope back on your aiming point and adjust the reticle to the bullet hole without moving the firearm. Depending on how much you move the firearm doing this will dictate how close you will be to having it shoot dead on. Depending on your skill level, you may have to shoot more shots to fine tune but it shouldnt take more than 2-3 shots total to get it dialed in. It might sound hard but is easy to do. I can never understand how someone can take a 15-20 rounds to sight in.
