[QUOTE="Don Ward, post: 311310, member: 19118"] sdkidaho: It's not that simplistic, but in general that is correct for a high performance load (high BC bullet going fast). If you throw multiple variables in like severe angle, big temp swing and extreme range, that window gets smaller. An individual load's specific performance has a huge effect on how far you can be from your dials specs before needing to manually adjust. As stated earlier in this thread, anyone interested in hitting stuff way out there would be ahead by accessing a ballistic program and playing with all sorts of variables to get a feel for what changing the variables does to bullet flight. We were hunting antelope at 4000' 80deg last week. Our 7000' 30 dial was 1 click (1/3 MOA) different at 1000 yards. If we would have had a cold snap and it was 4000' 0deg, we would be adding clicks at 1000 but would still dial directly to the yardage at 500. [/QUOTE]
