Like I mentioned he's verified nothing, and that's the first step. I just stumbled into my question while looking at different scenarios. His friend has a similar setup and with identical loads, both using Leupold 2.5-8 scopes, one silver, one matte he had to adjust 18-20 clicks more. I can't swear if one has a 200 yard zero, and the other 100 yards. So my advice was to start over at the beginning. 600 yards was the distance. Looking at it, I wrote the question poorly. I was thinking out loud and telling a story as to how I got into the question.
My question came out of fooling with some of the variables, and expecting to see more difference from the scope height in the formulas.
I suspect the program is accurate, but was wondering if someone could help me understand the concept of scope height.
