[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 316488, member: 11717"] I have been very skeptical of the BDC type turrets as well but I've read some posts by some credible members that they work very well. On critical factor is providing the turret makers with very accurate balistic info. another thing to remember is we are talking Minute of Elk or Mule Deer when hunting vs BR target shooting. When crunching the numbers at ranges of about 600 yds or so, changes in atmospheric conditions dont affect relatively high BC bullets with relatively high MV's very much, maybe 1-4" depending on total variance. Moving out to 1000 yds these changes will affect drops more significantly but knowing your drop rates for changes of pressure and elevation helps you to compensate fairly accurately. Angle shooting is another fly in the buttermilk. I think some practice would give you a good feel for it. I've decide to get a turret for my plains hunting, antelope and deer and maybe get another for higher elevation mountain hunting and plink around with it. -MR [/QUOTE]
