[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 546664, member: 8833"] I do something similar but with a couple different ingredients. I use the sticky labels that are intended to be used for addressing envelopes printed on a computer. Went to the local office depot store and bought a water proof felt fine tip pen. You can cut the label very easily with a scissors to fit the diameter and height of your turret. Put the blank white label on your turret, as it has a slight sticky backing. I then mark my zero and put a 2 over it as my rifle is zeroed for 200 yds, then mark the 300 yd and put a 3 over it etc. I use long vert. marks for 2,3,4,5oo yd etc. , and shorter vert lines for 25 yd increments. After my label is marked and ready to go I use clear packing tape cut to the size of the label with a scissors to go over the marked label which will make it about 90% water proof depending on how well you did it. Very easy to peel off and redo if you change elevation, loads, bullets or whatever. I use the above turret marking system mainly on my practice guns. One being a 22LR rifle that I practice to 300 yds with, a 8" 22LR pistol that has turret to 200 yds, and a 243 Win that goes out to 700 yds.. I practice at same elev., so after that I may need to make some minor adjustments for temp, press etc. but it is pretty straight forward. By the way - I'm on 3 revolutions of turret to get out beyond 300 yds with the 22LR with my scope. [/QUOTE]
