[QUOTE="Broz, post: 604236, member: 7503"] Well LTLR, I can see what you are saying, and didn't realise you used hold over reticles. I tend to think in the ways it works for me and I simply hate any kind of hold over. I guess one of the things I like most about LR hunting is I have time to make the shot. Growing up in the midwest and crawling in with a shotgun an slugs, or having to take that fast shot in heavy timber sucked. Now I relax and take my time. This is why I love to practice first round cold bore shots. I like the "slow hit is better than a fast miss" scenareo. Well, I guess I need to see it for myself, cuz I just am having a hard time wrapping my mind around it. I have never been one to believe something just because a computer program said it was so. One little error in inputted data and it is all for not. So I want to shoot along side some of these bullets in the wind. Then see who is dialing less wind drift, that is what I need to see before I change what I have working so well for me in the field. But I probably would not use them anyway, I have had to many problems with solids not expanding on game , and coppering the heck out of my tubes. I know all tubes are different, but I baby my barrels and more cleaning is not what I want. Jeff [/QUOTE]
