[QUOTE="lerch, post: 196668, member: 3115"] I am just wondering what everyones preferance is on this topic?? Do you prefer to dial for elevation and wind or do you use some form of a holdover method??? me i have tried both methods and variations of each and while i dial everything most the time lately i have been trying to dial elevation and use increments in my reticule for windage. now this doesnt work in my big game rifle, 270AM with the NF NP-1RR reticule, but in my varmint guns i have been using leupold mildot reticule's and trying to develop this method in them. this is mostly due to all the hog hunting we are doing around here and alot of times this is more extermination than hunting so the goal is to get the animal down and dead with as many more following the same path. Like i said i am trying this method mainly to try and speed up secondary shots but i can see holes in it. i guess it is a easier and quicker way to compensate for constantly changing wind conditions but like i said it has holes. i think constantly aiming with the center cross hair is probably the most precise method but i just wanna know everyone else's opinions what method do you use and what reticule works best for ya??? thanks steve [/QUOTE]
