You didn't mention what your zero range is - should we assume 100 yards?

Yes, 100 yard zero.

I'll just throw this out there...

I saw where your adjusting the scope in MILs.
But you're measuring the drop in inches or MOA..

Do yourself a favor and get a metric tape measure.
Makes it easier than trying to jump back and forth.

How many "ups" did you dial before you shot the 800 yard target?

 

[MOA or bust]

If you didn't find your impacts at 800 yards, how do you know you were missing the target low? I think you've got to get on paper before you start making corrections.
Also hard to believe the MV for your 300 WSM is only 3050fps for a 138gr bullet?

I walked up to the steel at 800 yards and saw my impacts (see the photo) and my hold. I could not see the impact through the spotter or scope (15x) That MV is 3220 at 65 degrees or so. I'm going to Doppler it again this week.

5.3 MILS, held at 12:00 on edge of plate as shown in the photo.

I you are indeed 16 inches low after dialing 5.3 mils (which is what my calculator shows as the required up for 800 yards) and the other data you provided , your new G7 BC is .175

The new required mils is 5.8. I used 65 degrees, 1000 ft of elevation and 30% humidity

I was actually 24" low at 5.3 MILS

ok, G7 BC is .166 and mils is 6.1
