Please help.....
Have zeroed 223 @ 100 yards, two inch high. 0.7 MOA. Turrets now reset.
Using Hornady 55gr V-max its states on box 3240 fps with 1.4" drop at 100 yards, dead on at 200 yards, and about 7" drop at 300 yards.........
so taking into account my 2" high at 100 yard zero...................how many 1/4 inch moa clicks for:
300
400
please........

First, if you zero the 55vmax at 200, then it will be 1.4" high at 100 not a 1.4"drop.
Second, 1/4 inch MOA click ??
Is it 1/4"@100yd clicks, or 1/4 MOA clicks ? There is a difference. Also, have you confirmed that your scope adjustments are what they say they are ?
Unless you are using a top end scope, you, more often than not, find that the 1/4 MOA works out to be, for eg. .243" not .2617" which over several clicks, the error will add up.
Have you confirmed that the bullets are doing 3240fps from your gun ? I'd be very surprised if they do exactly what it says 'on the tin'.
What you need to do, if you wasn't to do it right, is,
A, chrono your ammo to get the real velocity.
B, input the correct data, mv, bc etc into a ballistic calculator.
C, confirm that your scope adjustments are what they should be, by doing a box test.
D, get out on a range, or in the field and confirm the actual drops correspond with the data given by the ballistic calculator.
E, make sure the data input into the calculator is all present and correct, rubbish in=rubbish out, this includes the weather variables, station pressure, temp and humidity etc.
F, get out and practice, and gather reliable DOPE, Data Obtained from Previous Engagements.
G, don't expect the '16 clicks to 300' that works today to work spot on tomorrow, at the moment, the air pressure is having vast and rapid changes, enough to make an effect.
H, last but not least, get out and shoot, enjoy it, and learn. The more you practice, the luckier you'll get
