[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 70728, member: 8"] The built in drop compensators have been around since the 1970's. Bushnell had a "BDC" bullet drop compensator. In those days I was shooting a Ruger #1 25-06 with a Redfield accurange/ accutrac and this was acceptable accuracy for deer sized animals to about 500yds. When I started going beyond 500 yds I left the BDC's behind and began using target turrets and spinning the dials. I have a Burris ballistic plex on a inline muzzle loader because this is not an accurate gun and I am not trying to hit a small target and for this type of greater than MOA gun and deer at 300 yds the level of accuracy is acceptable. If you like "stuff" in your reticle and want to play around with a mil dot system here is a little game. [url="http://www.shooterready.com/lrsdemohi.html"]http://www.shooterready.com/lrsdemohi.html[/url] A word of advice. Use the calculator built into the game other wise you will shoot hundreds of rounds and not score well. If you need the equations for using the calculator come back here and I will post it for you. It is similar to what I did above. [/QUOTE]
