[QUOTE="woods, post: 469520, member: 6042"] The answer to your specific question is the RapidZ 800 is the best reticle for your load. For instance, using the calculator on the Zeiss website, if you are shooting the 160 Accubond at 3150 fps then you will be very close to just shooting long distance at the maximum power of 14 and the lines will be 200 yds zero 294 yd first line down 395 yd second line down 496 yd third line down 600 yd 4th line down 706 yd 5th line down 814 yd 6th line down I have several types of ballistic reticles and target turrets and really like the RapidZ 800. It has not bothered me with being too busy and once zeroed I don't have to worry about whether the turret moved or where I am. It is also much quicker to use for hunting purposes, if quickness is needed. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/RapidZ800May07-2.jpg[/IMG] Target turrets are more accurate at the longer distances if you have the time, input all your data into your calculator correctly, your turrets have not moved around a full circle and your scope accurately to a fine degree moves the reticle the correct amount everytime when counting clicks (and returns). The Zeiss is an excellent scope, very clear with excellent contrast. Once zeroed that is it, no screwing around with it and there is a certain degree of comfort that comes with that. That will add confidence and let you concentrate on all the other factors involved in long distance shooting. YMMV [/QUOTE]
