[QUOTE="NWmissouriman, post: 1149743, member: 45260"] I'm by no means an expert, but I've found a way of doing things that works for my situation, which seems similar to yours. I went with the MOAR reticle instead of a velocity reticle, because to me it's more flexible as far as being able to switch to different guns and calibers. I shoot a 7 Rem Mag and the majority of my shots on game are under 500 yards as well. I sight my rifle in at 100 yards and set the zero stop. When I'm hunting in areas that are likely to present quick opportunities at distances over 200 yards I turn my elevation up to 2 moa or so when I get set up. Ideally whatever your max point blank is for your caliber is what you would dial to, or relatively close. With your 300 Ultra you should be able to use this method to get you close to that 500 yard mark without having to hold any higher than the top of the back of a deer sized target. It's all going to depend on the ballistics of your load to determine just how far that method will work for you. I'm not saying this is the right way to do it or the only way, but for me it's the quickest and easiest. That isn't much insight on your velocity reticle question, but more an alternative to it if you think you'll ever use the scope on multiple guns. You mentioned that you had a G7 and with that alone being said the MOAR reticle will be a perfect fit with that. I hope this helps. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
