When you get to a point where it shows 2" high at 100, this is theoretically the distance at which your rifle is 'zeroed' in the true sense. You will then be able to input this zero distance for proper calculations.

Ok , Thanks Longshot and Happy Jack.

I measured the scope height at 1.70 inches.
With your calculator Happy does that allow for my Zero to be 2 inches high at 100.?
Forgive my ignorance .
