I appreciate all the responses however noone has answered my question.

I have a question regarding setting up for a 500 yard Competition.

Can I use a ballistics program and enter the following parameters Bullet Weight, BC , sight over bore , etc and use 500 yards as the sight in distance.

Calculate a firing solution based on the criteria I've given and use the 100 yard rise value to set up the scope for the 500 yard shot.

By that I mean at 100 Yards the bullet is 7.5 inches high.

If I set up my scope so that it shows 7.5 inches high at 100 yards will I be right on at 500 Yards ?
