I was thinking today about scope adjustments and got myself confused, which isn't hard for me to do. Take the 1/4" at 100 yds for example. I know at 100 yds. 1 click will move the bullet impact 1/4". My question is this. If I am shooting at something 300 yds away and I move the adjustment 1 click will it move the impact 3/4"? Will 1 click at 500 yds move the impact 1 1/4"? I figure I am gonna get some ribbing about the question so go for it...lol. Exactly how much does 1 click move impact at the longer distances?
 
Re: Question about scope adjustment?

Yes, the farther out the target the more it moves. 200 yards would be half a inch and 400 yards should be 1". Keep in mind that most turrets are not going to move exactly .25".
