[QUOTE="73driver, post: 2623954, member: 36473"] I think this is a great strategy. When I hunted with a non dial up scope on my 270 shooting Hornady 140 SST Superformance ammo I used a 220 yard zero. At 100 yards this was 1.5 inches high, at 300 yards 5 inches low. I now dial up, with a 100 yard zero I hunt with my scope dialed for 210/220. In the last 20 years shots have been 5 deer 200-250 yards, one at 60 yards off hand, one sitting at 120 and three at 300-350 sitting rifle over bino tripod or using trigger sticks. When using the dial ups I would run numbers through my StrelokPro in camp (using current/guestimated atmospherics) the night before hunting. With a pre made DOPE card it is good to have a hunting buddy help with the shots out to 350-450. Spotter can range, give you your dial up and spot the hit and fall. The terrain can be rugged and brushy and when you squeeze off a shot likely recoil will take you off target. Helps to have a spotter pinpoint where your buck drops, especially if it stagers around a bit, which can happen even with a solid hit. When you hike down the hill and uphill to your downed buck with the grass 2 feet high or thick oak/mesquite brush it can be a challenge to find it without a buddy on glass to tell you where buck is down, even then could be work. Have fun, best hunting ever. [/QUOTE]
