I can give you all of the numbers I used if you need it, but I have a drop number of 154. Zeroed scope at 100 yrds , touching holes. Per instructions, I put a target at 400 and hit about three feet low. I entered 230 as a drop number( that is the highest number MY scope would allow) and still hit aprox 14 in low. I looked at a ballistic table for my 6.5 and amd I would have to have a 4000 fps to match the red dot in scope.What's the problem? I have a couple
Did you double check your Zero distance? It should be "1" and not 0I can give you all of the numbers I used if you need it, but I have a drop number of 154. Zeroed scope at 100 yrds , touching holes.

I was using the red dot as my aiming point. I pit an 11 in plastic jug out at 400. I then held cross hairs on jug and looked at the red dot. It was 12" under cross hairs. SO, the scope was giving me an 11 in drop at 400. I hope I explained it .well enough for you.
now you got me to thinking and I know it is hard to translate what you are seeing on your end. If you are zeroed at 100 yards but the poi is 3 feet low and lets say the ballistics on your load at 400yds shows a 24 to 28 inch drop aiming from the crosshairs but the lighted dot is beneath the cross hairs. Hummm. What is your scope mounts? standard rail or weaver style? Was the scope showing 400 yards to the target? Post a follow up if you figure out what is going on.I can give you all of the numbers I used if you need it, but I have a drop number of 154. Zeroed scope at 100 yrds , touching holes.

Did you enter the correct bc?
I will double check the instruction on that, thanks.Did you double check your Zero distance? It should be "1" and not 0
The bullet is hitting about where it should, but the dot is showing 11"below crosshairs.now you got me to thinking and I know it is hard to translate what you are seeing on your end.

I'm just having a hard time explaining this I guess. Tha dot shows 11" below crosshairs at 400. The range shows 404 which I don't have a problem with. Ballistic tables tell me I should be 39 in low at 400 and that is ABOUT where I'm hitting. I can boost drop number up to 230 and I'm still low by a couple of feet.After ranging the red dot is your aiming point, not the cross hairs. I have one on a 300rum and it is pretty good to 1000.
The 11" low sounds pretty good. Might want to look at a mechanical problem or an numerical entry mistake. 2 ft low from the dot at 400 is a lot.
