Im a little confused about this...
I removed my NF 5.5-22x56 from my M24. The M24 has a 20 moa base.
I put that same NF on my Rem 700 5R in .300wm. with a 20 moa NF base.
Previously my scope was zeroed at 100 yds. for .308 at 2600 fps. putting the knob at the 3 ring on the elevation turret for zero.
When the same NF was moved over to the .300wm I had to go up to the 4th ring to even get it close to zero...
Why would i have to bring the crosshairs UP to the 4th ring when the 300wm load is at 3300fps and a much flatter shooting round? I would think that with it being a flatter shooting round that i would have to go down to somewhere on the second ring... not up to the 4th
Any suggestions?
