[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 383076, member: 22335"] If you sight in at 200 yards, then generally speaking your bullet will "rise" no more than 3 inches on its way to 200 yards. That's not enough to consider unless you're trying to whack the head of a squirrel at 150 yards. :D To shoot to 600, are you going to use a turret to dial in elevation beyond 200 yards? Are you going to use an MOA reticle to determine your hold over, or possibly use a BDC-style reticle? Or are you just guessing? The first 3 options are all fine options. Just guessing how much to hold over won't work well at all. Let us know your plans and we will see if we can help. [/QUOTE]
