My Nikon app shows this: for 270, Hornady 140gn SST @3090fps, scope is 1.5" above the center of the bore.

zero at 100yd
at 50yd path is 0.28" low (remember it starts out at 1.5" below the line of sight).

So at 50yd you should make the group center approx 1/4" below the bullseye.

So just to clarify are you saying I should zero a 1/4" low at 50 yds? As I said I am new to long range shooting and scopes as most of my hunting spots are at the most 50 yds but sometimes there are farther and I hope to take advantage of this. Thanks again folks.
