30-06 Trajectory

[Pumpkin Head]

Thanks for the replies. The temperature was about 60 and the humidity was about 40% and there was only a very slight breeze.

I did not measure the height of my scope but it is not very high. It has a 40mm objective and I use the low or medium turn in Leupold mounts. I like my scope to be mounted as low as possible and still maintain clearance from the barrel.

I really do appreciate the input, I am a hunter not a target shooter. But I do insist on accuracy because I do not want to wound any animal. I have been hunting now for about 30 years and have just never experienced this before. In the past though I had the rifle set about 1.5-2" high at 100yds so perhaps this drop is normal for a rifle sighted in to zero at 100yds. It looks like I will be moving the POI up a couple of inches again.
