[QUOTE="longwings, post: 990240, member: 54536"] I have a Burris Eliminator III mounted on a semi custom Sako 75 with a pacnor barrel, in 270 win caliber. I have it zeroed for 100 yards and am shooting Hornady Superformance 130 gr bullets at 3200 FPS, the drop on this bullet is 114 inches at 750 yards which is what the burris ammo chart provided. (they have ballistics on virtually all ammo available) or you can provide your own handload info programming the BC and drop at 750 yards. The scope will range out to 1200 yards but it will only provide a firing solution for my caliber and ballistics out to 1116 yards! trying to range past that and it just won't give you any solution! It displays a "too far code" I hit a torso target at 1100 yards with this setup and verified the drop at 750 yards which was within 2 inches of the factory specs. There are many other flat shooting calibers out there that would take the scope to its max range of 1200 yards and on the flip side there are those (308 etc...) that may only get you to 800-900 yards due to the bullet trajectory. It is a pretty sweet setup in the field eliminating the need for a separate range finder and dialing of the turret, as the programming within the scope takes a fraction of a second to give you the firing solution, literally just push the button put the red dot on the target and shoot! As for the previous post about sighting in at 200 vs 100 yards, the literature from Burris only makes reference to 100 yard sight in and drop at 750 and they say your bullet must have 230 inches or less drop at 750 yards when sighted in at 100 perhaps a phone call to Burris is in order to answer the 200 yard sight in question!
