Ok, pardon the terminology but I hope you all will be able to understand.

I was sighting in Sunday (.308 Remington) and initially, at 50 m, I was 5 inches high. I’m not sure what the trajectory should be at that distance, so I adjusted until I was 1 inch high and called it a day after that. I will be going back out for more practice and would like your advice.

My scope is a 2 ½X Redfield. The booklet says if you adjust one click it will make a difference of 1 inch at 100 yards and 2 inches at 200 yards. So, if I want to adjust at 50 yards (or metres – I know this is a longer distance) does that mean that 1 click is ½ inch at 50?

Thanks.
