Weaver K-6 problems.

Yesterday I tried to zero in my .220 Swift at 25 yards in my backyard range preparatory to taking it to the range and zeroing it in at 100 yards. I found that the K-6 while unused for several years had apparently taken a "set" on the windage adjustment and it was off two inches to the right and would not move. All efforts to get it to move were unsuccesful. This included tapping lightly on the windage dial. Are there other methods of correcting this?
The Model 70 when I bought it came with Redfield Jr. mount which can be used to adjust the windage, but would entail backing out the left hand screw and screwing in the right hand screw which would move the objective lens to the right. Would this be a hit and miss chore or is there any rule about how much X turns of R or L screw changes point of impact.?

Those adjustment screws on the Redfield mount are just a rough trial and error proposition. You might run across some math major einstein who could figure the amount of movement from the TPI, but it wouldn't be me.
