[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 622087, member: 29174"] In theory it works ok but I have found that it is more accurate to dial it in. Holdover for me is difficult at that range on targets that are really about 6-8" high. With my 243 coyote load it is about 8moa drop at 500yards. 62g Varmint Grenade at 3550fps. or so. We were out banging gongs at 435yrds and my Buddy was holding over with a mil-dot and having a difficult time ringing the gong with his 6.8SPc. I dialed up 7.5moa and shot a 3.5" 5 shot group on the gong with my 243. He dialed up 5moa and started ringing the gong. On the other hand I have dumped a running coyote at that range with my 270wsm while deer hunting...offhand. [/QUOTE]
