[QUOTE="imasam, post: 501171, member: 20611"] I apologize to you long range mongers.. who want to only shoot at 600 to 1000yds.. Yes you need to calculate the drop and dial it in. But there are also people who only shoot at game up to 500 yards. This is point blank range. Using a simple duplex reticle. No range adjustment knobs. I zero my 300 win mag in at 325 yards, dead nuts on at 25 yards or so, 3 to 4 inches high at 100 to 200 yards and 11 inches low at 400yds and another 17 drop at 500yds.. I have dropped lots of chucks estimating range and not having to dial in. quick snap shooting. Kentucky windage. I always keep the cross hairs on the animal. With the typical animal body this keeps me hitting. Using the horiziontal distance as an indicator for these ranges works well and keeps me on target. The 110 grain bullet does a job on chucks. I'm and engineer and i use the sine waves and cosine and calculate all kinds of things... sinx of 30 degrees is .5... I can calculate all the numbers i want. I don't believe the person asking the question was talking about 600 to 1000 yds.. remind me not to answer to the forum any more please.. [/QUOTE]
