[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 241981, member: 1133"] Don't know if i should post this or not, but i went out today coyote hunting, and had the opportunity to reticle-range an antelope buck that lasered right at 600 yds. avg. of about 2 readings. He occupied back to brisket what i guessed to be .9 of the distance between stadia line 2 and 3 of the Burris 4-12x Mini's Ball. Plex reticle. Here's the calc figuring 15" back to brisket, and subtracting the line thickness (.19 inch per hundred yds.= 2.78 IPHY between stadia lines). 15 x 100 / 2.78 / 0.9 = 599 yds. ...but if was only +/- 1/20th off in the interpolation (.85-.95) here's the range of error-- 1500 / 2.78 / .95 = 568 1500 / 2.78 / .85 = 635 67 yds. error (also assuming the buck was actually 15", and not 14.5 or 15.5). ...Fun to play with tho. (when it works). [/QUOTE]
