[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 241190, member: 11717"] Thanks for the ideas. I used my shoulder mounted antelope and bull elk for top of shoulder to brisket measurements, 16" for the antelope and 30" for the bull. I zeroed my rifle @ 200 yds. Went out for antelope and shot my buck at about 180 yds, a no brainer there. Then went looking for some alphalpha fed does and found a herd in an open alphalpha field. They let me amble in to about 200 yds before they started acting a little skitish. I lined up my scope on one from prone shooting off my day pack. the body filled just less than cross hatches wich I figure made it about 300 yds (6 in per hatch @ 2 MOA @ 300 yds) My bullet drop from 200 to 300 yds was calculated at about 6 inches. So I put the cross hair on the back and the bullet struck about 6 inches below the back. Bang flop. I've made a chart for elk. Hoping to pick up a laser this week, but knowing how to range witha reticle is a good back up skill to have. [/QUOTE]
