[QUOTE="Brewer, post: 865098, member: 71923"] Less than 500 yards is correct, but make sure you know where your bullet is going to land at 300, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450, 475, and 500 yards with a zero at 200 yards. when you get to these ranges, 25-50 yards can make a big difference. you have to shoot and shoot at all these ranges to find out where your bullet lands with respect to aiming point. as most of us have tried, this doesn't work nearly as well as a range finder and dialing your shot in. its a big investment but the BDC reticles are a joke out of the box. you have to shoot them, you for sure cant depend on the dots or holes or extra crosshairs to be on for your particular rifle and load. besides its a lot funner to use the gadgets. you will also find at 500+ yards that the deer often do just stand there and wait for you to shoot them.
