[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 293468, member: 1133"] I'd bet that simple Wide Duplex would get u close to 500 yds. in itself if u're just using it on big game. With that reticle u basically have a 1-stadia ballistic reticle that subtends 8 shooter's minute of angle (MOA) between x-hair and plex post tip @9x. If u zeroed for 250 yds. or so u'd be set up fair enuf for a point blank zero probably all the way out to 300-350 yds. depending on tgt. size. Then u could start applying the reticle, i.e., suppose u knew the 400 yd. drop is say something like 16" (4 SMOA). Then 4/8 = .5, so just aim 1/2 way down to the plex post tip and shoot. Calculate windage too the same way, get a Butler Creek ocular scope cap cover and put all your dope in it on a sticker. Suppose the 500 yd. drop is 35" low (7 SMOA), that's 7/8 = .9, so aim 9 tenths down to the PPT. U'd be surprised the accuracy of interpolation really using this kinduva system. Here's what my dope stickers look like on some of my rigs-- 400-.5-.3 ...range, elevation, and windage no headers needed. [/QUOTE]
