Default That can't be right!

Or so I thought. I made up a dope sheet for my 6.5 CM with 143 gr Hornady ELD-X bullets with a MV of 2640. I printed it out and at 700 yards it said to come up 18.5 MOA -NO WAY! Then I looked at the drop and it was 135". A bit of calculation (7 x 1.05= 7.35; 135/7.35=18.3). Hmmm....well I'll be darned it is right. Now this is only an approximation and my actual dope sheet will likely be different but at least it gets me in the ball park. No wonder the higher class scopes have a zero stop. It could be very easy to forget.
