[QUOTE="270winshort, post: 196987, member: 6471"] I rarley ever post anything because I probably know less about long range than anybody on this site. I normally just read and try to learn as much as I can from all you pros. That being said I'll go ahead and put in my 2 cents worth because opnions are like butts everybody has one. I started my long range quest useing a burris ballistic plex scope, and leaned alot, It worked well for me out to 550 yards. But was not as consitant at longer distances. I then went to the dial up method and at first was concerned about it being to slow and if I would always remember to turn my scope back to zero. But with alot of practice it didnt take long and I had it figured out. My gun is sited in 3" high at 100 yards which makes my zero 313 yards. So I never dial my scope until I am shooting over 400 yards, because I never have to aim off the animal. From 400 yards out (because I need all the help I can get) I always dial up, for a more accurate shot. As for wind I'm with kirby, if I have to dial more than a couple of minutes I just dont take the shot. great topic [/QUOTE]
