[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 332616, member: 3756"] I like you caught that! :) You did not misunderstand what I said, but you can not play with the reticle tool and you do have to change the zero. It can be done in a blink of an eye once you know what to look for. You probably already know how to do this changing the zero, but if you haven't done it yet, this is how I go about it... In any event it'll help some one else. I'll use my NightForce NP-R2 in [B]this example[/B]. You know this reticle has from the center, 5 lines for 10 moa upwards adjustment and 10 lines for 20 moa downwards adjustment. Let's say you want the topmost line to zero at 100 yards...

Sorry....[/COLOR] [COLOR=red][B]CONTINUING...[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][COLOR=black]Alright, lets get it right now.[/COLOR] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]So we want to make the top most line (10 MOA from center) to be zero at 100 yards. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Normally, in LoadBase 3.0 my set up for 100 yards looks like this:[/COLOR] [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/5u2q6r.jpg[/IMG] which we are telling LB3.0 that at 100 yards the impact point is dead on because "zero Height" is = to 0. Let's change the "Zero Height to 10.5" because 1 MOA = 1.047", then 10 MOA = 10.47". LB3.0 will only let you enter one decimal so we will enter 10.5--- [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/29blt07.jpg[/IMG] Now we are telling LB3.0 that at 100 yards the impact point is 10.5" high, which would be 10 moa high, which would match the top most line of the reticle we are using. We are telling the program that our top most line is dead on at 100 yards. (sorry for repeating my self, just making sure I'm explaining it good) When I click on the "Field Charts" tab in LB, we get this: [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/1y4o7c.jpg[/IMG] We know that the top most line is for 100 yards, the next line down is for 280 yards and so forth. By looking at the drop chart you can find any distance you want for the rest of the reticle lines including the "in between lines". The normal "zero height = 0" at 100 yards chart would look like this: [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/bfhsat.jpg[/IMG] Notice that for this chart it goes: 100 yards which is our zero, 280, 385, 480, 570, 655 The First chart shows: 100 yards(top most line), 280, 385, 485, 570, 655... all the way to 1160 yards. Nice, from 100 yards to 1160 yards without making adjustments. Now we don't have to worry about the turret being a bit off. :D By looking at the chart having the "zero height = 10.5", the last three lines on the bottom which from center of reticle would be 16, 18 and 20 MOA, they would be good for distances of 1220, 1280, and 1335 yards respectively.
