[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 553834, member: 10291"] I have turrets for my 6.5x284 with a 140 VLD at 2965fPS. From an altitude of 2000 to 7000 altitude I have to correct 2" low at 500 yards, 5" at 700, and 15" at 900 . This is at a temperature of 45 degrees. Under a 2000 ft difference I don't usually correct. You can adjust your turrets down the required clicks once you figure the adjustments for your load. Chances are you don't have to worry if your elk is less than 500 yards away. In any case I would check your POI at your hunting destination at 70% of the maximum range you are planning to shoot.
