Does anyone have experience with these? The website calculator doesn't seem to work or I don't understand the theory. I bought a Rapid Z-800 for my 300 WSM. The instructions say to calculate your optimum power using the website calculator, which I attempted and I think it's 10 power. Then, using that power, sight in for 200 yds. Then shoot at 400 yds and if you're low then turn the power down a little and the opposite if you're shooting high. Does that mean that my 4.5 - 14 power is only useful at the "optimum power" setting? If changing the power means that you're affecting the bullet's targeting then you can never use another power other than the optimum power? Seems to defeat the entire purpose of having a variable power scope!!!! I must be missing something so if anyone has any experience here, I would appreciate the assistance. Thanks.
