[QUOTE="Alstar250, post: 626860, member: 44220"] Yes MPBR is exactly what I am using. I have used this method of shooting for the past 20yrs using standard reticle scopes and MPBR has been a pretty good way of putting meat in the freezer. I just don't trust myself to judge holdover at longer distances for fear of a wounding shot, and so I limit my shots to 300yds. I have since gone to the Leupold VX-II with the LR reticle I mentioned. With this I have been playing with the holdover dots etc, but I'd like to be more precise. On my coyote gun (.243) I have it set dead on @ 200yds. I use a Nikon BDC reticle and the Nikon Spot On iPhone app and I have been practicing with the holdover circles. With this setup I have been able to make kills up around 450yds. I am more confident that an errant shot on a coyote with a high-powered rifle will still be a kill shot, so I can lengthen the distance and remain comfortable. But it just seems like using a well made target scope and practicing, practicing and practicing some more in order to be effective with the POA=POI method is just more precise. [/QUOTE]
