Poor accuracy at 300y, great at 400

[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2928755, member: 124360"] I see that I wasnt clear enough again. I'm not sure its possible to be clear enough in something thats not 10 pages for a mere mortal like me to explain this. When putting it on paper out to 300, I hold dead on. At 400, I dialed. Why? A few reasons, but one of them was to save time because i didn't know exactly what the bullets were going to do. I was doing this after work, trying to get it done before the sun went down. In either instance, had a really nice square to aim at, at each range. There's no holdover while doing my target shooting. I wanted to see where my point blank range was so that in a rushed scenario, i could know at what range i would need to start compensating for bullet drop.. the lack of accuracy had nothing to do with my aiming method. To expand on this a little more, my scope has hash marks every 1 moa. If i do have to hold over, I don't have to approximate anything.. becaue of those marks I still have a corsshair. [/QUOTE]
