[QUOTE="deweyduck, post: 1669573, member: 69421"] [ATTACH=full]140731[/ATTACH] Scope dialing and range finding is too slow for whitetail hunting in most of my area in Georgia so I memorize distance to mileposts. I made a hold over/under cheat sheet for my stock. I use a single scope setting for my 168 Berger VLD's of "3" for a 300 yd zero and hold over or under at each of the listed yardages. If it's over 400 yards, I have to go up to "9.5" on the scope for a 500 yd zero and use the hold over/under. It just takes a couple of seconds to decide where to hold and send it. Each yardage shows bullet elevation and distance from the bottom of deers ribcage. ie: 200 yds is 4.3 " above line of sight so hold at 1/3 of body height from bottom. A whitetail ribcage is about 18" high and the vital area is about a 6" circle. My best result was a deer at 390 yards. I held on the back bone and put it dead center through the heart. The butcher could not find the bullet but the heart was a mass of jello. [/QUOTE]
