[QUOTE="waveslayer, post: 1694218, member: 46202"] Sorry you have had to learn this important lesson the hard way. Ballistic turrets are only as good as the data you make them for.. meaning... The velocity has to be single digits in terms of SD, bullet has to have the same BC (but BC's change with velocity) atmospheric data has to match otherwise your data will be way off, etc... Best thing to do is build a DOPE card and have it velcro to the side of your rifle. No different then dial a yardage on your custom turret, you just dial for the stated distance from your DOPE card. I never ever understood the Ballistic turrets and scopes with recalculated dope built into the reticles... they are almost always off and are guesstimates. Also, another lesson you learned is angle shooting. Get an angle compensating range finder, because it matters a lot. Are you reloading your ammo? [/QUOTE]
