[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 433719, member: 1"] I bet your blood pressure is now way down in the SAFE range again. :):):) Any BDC turret is not perfect but it sure works well for me. This image shows the original 243AI conditions for the turret I used two days ago in the WY Big Horns, and 2 other sets of conditions for my actual 6.5/284 rifle's load for a Casper hunt and and in the Big Horns. [IMG]http://www.longrangehunting.com/images/bex-6.jpg[/IMG] I took a doe at 722 yards. I was using a turret developed for my 243AI load on my new 6.5/284 rifle. The turret was for a lower altitude, lower BC, different velocity. When I laid drop charts next to each other for both sets of conditions, I needed no modifications until I was out to 700 yards. If I remember correctly (big if :)), I took off one click for the angle, and one click for the chart differences. For greater conditional differences I'd just carry a little cheat sheet chart. Not much different than carrying several sets of charts for use with a MOA turret. But, hey, use whatever you want. [/QUOTE]
