trying to get a drop chart made up.. went to eskimo .com and entered in my numbers... things arent commin up right. i know at 450 yards in droppin about 16 inches.. when it comes up in the web site it says my drop should be like 30 inches... what is up with that????/ by the way i am dead on at 100 yds.. also the same thing for factory ammo. i shot a few shots of remmy 50gr vmax.. my drop is less that what the box and net say it should be?
Tell us what numbers you're putting in and it will be easier to tell what the problem is.
all of the number that i got including the drop for the factory ammo from the remington web site shows this.... my drop in inches should me around 30 inches and 6.5 moa high... well when i was shootin today at 450 yds i dialed up 20 clicks.. 5moa ... and i was still about 4 inches high.. .. i am almost positive im doin my math right?? how someone can figure out what im doin wrong?
This doesn't make sense -- are you saying that you have to hold over by 6.5 moa?

I don't know what kind of scope you have so I can't check the clicks. Also, tell us what caliber you're shooting so we can find it on the Remington website.
I think the numbers you're quoting would be right with a 200 yard zero. Either way, it's still going to drop like a rock past 400 yards.
Also, how do you know your velocity? Did you measure it or estimate it?
got velocity around 3700.. using a load found at loadyourown.com and it has the muzz. vel.
Well if your muzzle velocity was really 3900 the drop would be what you're seeing, but I don't think your getting that kind of velocity. Is the range measured? EXACTLY where are your bullets hitting at 100 yards (is this range measured?).
