[QUOTE="topbrass, post: 374991, member: 23611"] No matter what scope, turret, or bdc you have you should always sight in before going into the field. Yes you will need to either tailor your load to the turret/bdc, or have a turret made to your load. If you go with a bdc reticle, then you might have to turn a few clicks at different ranges to be zero'd for that range and environmental conditions. I would settle on the most accurate load with the smallest SD and have a turret built. Or simply get a moa dot/line reticle and print out a small chart for each range for holdover and turret elevation/windage adjustment. I have been shooting silhouettes for years and I have my zero's marked on my scopes. But I always check them before each match. Sometimes they need adjusting for environmental or light conditions, but I almost always come back to the original zero's before the match is over. Confidence in your equipment is the most important thing in shooting accurately. If you dont trust something, your confidence will be defeated at every turn and you wont know what to expect. It takes a lot of practice and care. [/QUOTE]
