He provided all the info including the exact clicks for each interval all the way out to 1000 yards but he was told that the data is essentially built off a computer program and not by all the appropriate clicks. They need a start,mid range and the end range and the rest is calibrated according to the computer ( including the rest of info bc,speed etc). Now so far all 5 times he's received new turrets there is only a few that actually match to the number on the turret. So he has said f&$k it and just made his own marks on the turret so he knows where it is exactly shooting.
All of this is fine he knows where his gun is shooting and it works but I have a few concerns and questions. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? Can it to built to exact click value provided? And if they are all done this way I guarantee there will a lot of missed shots by guys believing they are sighted in especially if you don't spend the time to shoot to verify at all ranges.
Lol long winded I know but thanks for any info provided even if you tell me to buy something else...)

temp/elevation he's at/muzzle velocity/& TRUE bc are important for that all to work.. you have to be absolutely sure that's all correct* The turret will match yardages exactly, no bs... once the first one is done correct, at "same" elevations (+/-) couple hundred feet, the turret won't be more than one click out for every 20degrees temp fluctuation --- those are the numbers, I shoot mine alot*
What you do, is tell buddy to check the click value printed on-top of those turrets.. the 5-20's are geared for the .33 value & the 3-12's are
.36 ...if accidentally one or the other (wrong one) was grabbed and burnt, even including his drops in the ballistics-program won't matter.. I had that-very mix-up in my own case. Make sure the right click value (one of the two mentioned, for whichever scopes case) is being used
in the computer program AND then burnt onto a matching turret!!!
I'll guarantee it's something minor..
also** as far as the drops go at close/mid range, use them as a guide if putting the data together yourself (juggling BC to match curve) focus on only your farthest proven drops (ex: 40 clicks at 800/hit) to punch into the ballistic program... punch that all in, w/temp, elev, muzzvel, etc THEN look at your close/mid range data and see how things conincide!
...from there, if those are out some, adjust your BC however neccesary (normally lower some) to
closely as possibly match your original close/mid data
That farthest confirmed data is most crucial.. once you've got the velocity and temp pinned-down proper!
