I’d rethink that 300 yard zero. With scopes that dial and good holdover reticles these days, there’s no reason. You are just working potential problems into your system. No human can shoot as well at 300 as you can at 100. Zero at 100, where you can see the very center of the X ring and aim precisely. And where environmentals will have much less of an impact. Then cut your dope off that 100 yd zero and just dial up to 300 (if that’s what you’d otherwise want your zero to be) and leave it there while you are out in the field hunting. Or 200. Or whatever. In any case, zero at 100 for precisions sake.

You have a very capable long range scope. Zeroing at 300 is an old way of thinking from back when we wanted to maximize our point blank range.

Just my thoughts.

Okay, you made a sale. The reticle is pretty much a cross-hair. There is a thick post below the center and thick sides out from the center. I will check their distance on 10X or 12X.

The other day I fired at a gong about 590 yards away. A range friend was watching to see if I hit. There was no dust ANYWHERE around. How many clicks should I have moved the turret to go up approximately 30"?

Well, first stop thinking in inches and train yourself to think in moa, since you have an moa scope.

To answer your question though, somewhere around 5 moa or 20 ish clicks. Of course there are a lot of unknown variables. A ballistics app downloaded on your phone will prove useful.
