Rifle Scopes Help with SWFA SS 5-20x50

[kaptain86]

Ok so I was sighting in my rifle (first time with resetable turrets) and I have it where my point of aim is point of impact at 100 yards.

Here are the settings,

What I don't know is how to set them up now. I have the allen wrench but not exactly sure what to do.

Can someone help me out?

Also I've read a few threads about elevation lost, if I'm on my second revolution does that mean I only have 10 more mils of elevation?

Thanks

Unscrew the screw that holds the knob on with the allen wrench. Align with 0 on your line there, push the knob down, retighten the allen screw. Repeat on other knob.

Does it matter if it is on the 2nd hash at zero?

no, just remeber that that your zero is on the 2nd revolution/hash. Do you have a canted base?

No,

Just remember that the 2nd hash mark is your zero. When you're on the 3rd hash mark, you've gone around more than once, and if you can't see the 2nd hash mark, then you've gone below your 100 yard zero
