[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 475349, member: 21068"] According to ballistic program, you will need about 25 moa to get to 1000 with a 100 yd zero. (that will vary some, based on alot of things, like altitude and muzzle velocity and bullet used). The old "rule of thumb" says we need 1000 ft lbs of energy on deer sized game. The particular load I used above, has 1030 ft lbs of energy left at 1000 yds. 16X should be ok, especially if you're thinking deer sized game. Although the shooting I've done beyond 700, I personally liked 20X-22X on the top end, but couldn't use any more than that.........mirage and field of view. [/QUOTE]
