[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1051753, member: 82202"] You can get custom turrets for your scope from Kenton or you can learn to use your target turrets. The target turrets require more thinking but the BDC turrets are only as good as the data you give the maker which will probably require you to use the same bullet same powder charge etc. Where as your target turret can accommodate all types of ammo. At this point I presume you set your turret 2.5 and thought that was 250 yards when in actuality it was 2.5moa above your 100 yard zero. If your drop between 100 yards and 250yards is 12" you would actually need to set your turret at 5.0 depending on the ballistics of your firearm. Does that scenario sound about right? I recommend learning your drops and writing them on a cheat sheet on the stock of your firearm. In any case you would need to shoot your Custom turret at all ranges to verify accuracy. Good luck and Shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
