[QUOTE="NYLES, post: 186045, member: 7039"] True, set up for 250gr shock-wave bullets and 150 gr powder. I find 6-7 inches on deer for a 200-225 yard shot to simply hold on his spine....I think you can get better optic's in a standard Nikon 3x9x40....Roy this subject I can back with pic after pic of dead deers! And thinking of you being in Idaho why not look at the new Nikon with finger turrets and make a drop chart same way you do your AM? Thats the next BP experiment I intend to do. Encore, Omega, or maybe that new one from T/C...That is my order of choice and in S/S. Best buy and bang for the buck Omega..hands down! Just for knowledge I shoot 120grains loose 777 behind a 290 Barnes TMZ...this is the best deer load I ever shot....however this load is lower than 6-7 at 200 +++ yardage. Must of mine fall between 20 and 150 yards.
