[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 141322, member: 2852"] My thoughts on it are this: 6.5-WWH cartridge is hard enough on barrels that your bc will be degrading with just about every box of bullets you buy so no matter how accurate your starting bc is that you give to Leupold, it will not stay that way for long. Then throw in a half mark (like 725 yards) then a little angle, then an unexpected elevation change, and your little tidy mark on the turret is suddenly WAY off. If you can't already tell, I am very much anti BDC and anti holdover dot for long range hunting.
