[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1742398, member: 68875"] To me, pronghorn are deceptively small. So much so, it is hard to gauge a 12" vs an 18" holdover on one to me. Now, I bet a 550-600 yard holdover (depending on cartridge and bullet used, which the OP has not mentioned) is somewhere around 36-72+". To me, that would be fairly difficult to hold over accurately with a 6x duplex scope. But that is me. I would at least use subtensions. Then, that becomes a very viable shooting opportunity. I don't "Kentucky Windage" much anymore on big game. But some can, with outstanding confidence and accuracy. I agree the difference in environmentals is not going to make a 60" difference in drop at 600 yards, but 8-10" is very possible. I would rather have a clean miss than a wounded unrecovered animal however. And definitely should not be a miss at 250. And not high. [/QUOTE]
