So, objective set at 25 yards and shooting at 40 yards = off by +/- 2" ; could be part of the problem - right ??

well..i have been playing with my mil-dot system, and have only run about 50 shots er so practicing with this...but if i have my zoom all the way in(24x), i can get 414yards with my 3rd mil...but on 12X i get 619yards on my 3rd mil..zero is still zero.
my math aint so good, but that should put me at about 900-1000 yards, using the 3rd mil, at 6X. unfortunately i wont be able to try this out, as my groups at best are 6" at 620yards. maybe someday ill start loading my own to perfect this.
