Fast forward to today. Shot it at 100 yards and decide to play with the dial. 3min is equal to 12 clicks. It only brought it up 2 inches at 100 yards with a 100 yard zero. pronlem I am facing is I can only go up to 6min on the dial which is 22 clicks and then I top out. Dial,will not move past there.
i wanted to get a CDS custom dial for my load but if all I have is 22 clicks available to me what's the point? 22clicks or 6min is only going to get me about 5.5 inches of elevation change. Give or take.
so am I wasting my time and money with this scope? I really did not want a 2inch holdover at 100 yards but could do it if neccesary.
BTW my load is .50 cal MMP Orange with 300 Gr Sierra .458 bullets. 100 GR BH209 by volume. CVA Optima V2 DNZ medium 30mm scope rings/ bases.
Sounds to me you have a mounting problem.
If you only have available 22 clicks UP from your 100yd zero to the turret stop, turn the dial DOWN and count the number of TOTAL clicks until the turret stops. My assumption is, you'll have many more clicks down. That's going to indicate a mount problem. I don't believe you'll ever have an equal number of clicks, both up and down equaling a zero but, if the scope mounts and rings are right, you should be much closer to the center number of clicks available.
