[QUOTE="winmag, post: 672724, member: 22166"] I had Leupolds Custom Shop install every one of those reticles. You may consider them a waste of time, but I find them more than adequate on my 338win with 225gr bullets (B&C reticle), 270WSM with 140gr Accubonds at 3100, & 300WSM with 180gr Accubonds at 3100, & used to have one on my old 300wby with 180gr Accubonds at around 3100 (varmint hunter reticles) for shots out to 5-600 I don't even bother wasting time dialing. Simply range, & shoot. Read up on the different ways adjust for propper MOA & you'll see they're almost tailor made for each of those cartriges. The elevation change while out hunting at those modest ranges, changes poi so little its not worth fussing over unless you go out of state from say almost sea level Georgia to Colorado at 8k +++++. Then you'd have some issues for sure, but none that couldn't be dialed in when checking zero. I don't bother dialing unless its 700 plus, & even dialing changes from Georgia to Colorado.... Nah, ill keep my Reticles, & Turrets. They're way too handy where I go, & for what I hunt. But I guess some folks have different styles of hunting, and see them as a waste of $money anyway.:D that's ok too. My way isn't perfect for everyone:D I think greyfox worded it much better than I did, but "ditto on his post". [/QUOTE]
