[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1027701, member: 48559"] For the one turret approach, as you see from your ballistic program, the difference at closer ranges is not a problem, and when you go out to 1000 it amounts to approx. 1.5 MOA. If you have the turret for your home conditions and want to use it at the higher elevation, you can upon arrival on site, re-zero for approximately 2/3 of your intended maximum range. If you zero at a distance of, say, 700 yards, 7 on your turret will shoot a little high. Make the correction, then slip the turret so that 7 is 700. Now a 200 yard zero will be approximately 250 on the turret scale, and work for any MPBR shot. Midrange will match the turret so close it won't be a problem, and a couple clicks correction will work at 1000 yards (1000 on the turret will shoot a bit high but you can work it out in your ballistic program and carry a cheat sheet on the hunt). Your windage will be less at higher altitude as well, so remember to re-work that dope before leaving home as well. [/QUOTE]
