[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 99954, member: 1403"] I'll tell ya how I do it. Some may do it differently , but its worked for me out to 1150 yards, of course with verifying. First I load test, find the most accurate load while shooting over a cronograph and recording your velocity. When you find your load you want, you need to put a zero on it. Whether it be 100-200-300 yards. Once you zero it you need to enter all your ballistic information such as, caliber, bullet weight, Muzzle velocity, Ballistic coefficient, altitude, temperature. Once you do that, it will give your trajectory out to however far you want to shoot. I have never understood MOA, so I go to a place thats free and does the clicks for you. Its called, [url="http://www.biggameinfo.com"]www.biggameinfo.com[/url] click on ballistics calculator and enter your data. It will give all your numbers you want, plus tell you your come up clicks. Next thing to do is write them down. I like to count them at home, then write the # that correspongs on the scope, on a piece of paper. That way your not out in the field counting clicks when you range something.
