At long range do you dial, BDC turret, graduated reticle, holdover, etc?

[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 523734, member: 21068"] I couldn't pick more than one!:) Speaking of coyotes/deer/antelope here mostly. Prarie dogs require a little more dialing. Holdover ........Most of the time out to about 400 yds with 300 zero. Graduated Reticle........Fast when shots are beyond 300 and under 600. Dial using range proven drops.......yes, but not as often as the above two, Prefered method for beyond 600 yds though. Dial for the yardage using handheld software generated data aided by weather meter etc......................been experimenting with that a little. Pass on the shot.............yes, done that too when I wasn't steady enough or when the wind was too hard to call. The graduated reticle works well for me once calibrated and range verified. I almost always hunt/shoot at the same elevations, so it's quick and I don't need tall knobs on the scope to use one. Quite a few coyotes out to about 550 +/-yds using just holdover/holdoff with a graduated reticle of some sort.........Still working on guns/load for the really long range stuff where alot of dialing is called for.
