Turret Settings?

[musket]

I'm new to these adjustable turrets, so, let's say you get dead on zero at 100 yards. Now it's time to set the reading on your tacticool turrets.
Do you set it at 0 or 100? I'm thinking 0, so, if I have a 200 yd. target, I simply adjust the turret to read 100. Right?

Set it at 50 and call it a day. I doubt you can see much further than that even with a scope.

You would zero the scope as you would any other. Once you have your zero at whatever distance (assuming 100yds) you can then reset the turret to read 0 following the manufactures directions. You can then use various methods to determine how much up or down you need to hit a target at any range. Set the turret to that reading and go to town. To go back to your zero simply put both turrets to 0.

What reticle?

What type of turret? Unless it's one that is specifically calibrated for your rifle and load, there is no direct correlation between what the turret increments are and yardage. Most turrets are regulated to move bullet impact by a specific amount per "click". Most are 1/4 (0.25) MOA. It's up to you to determine how much adjustment is needed at different distances.

You need to provide a lot more info about your setup if you are looking for help.

Twitch, that's what I was thinking.

10th, does the reticle matter if I'm not using a Mil dot?

Ok, it a 5.56 MSR with a Nikon P223 scope. BDC reticle.

So, what I'm hearing, set whatever your 0 range is at 0 and DOPE the scope from there?

Bear44, it's got Nikon factory knobs, 1/4 MOA/ click.
