[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2022289, member: 12443"] Back in the olden days, before lazer rangefinders, the only choice was the old military coincidence type like Barr&Stroud or Wild. Some measured in meters and some in yards, depending on which one and which country it was made for by the maker. Although there are adjustments on them it would be quite common for there to be differences between units when ranging the same objects. Drop charts where made up by shooting at various type targets like say rocks on hillsides. Often those charts would be given to friends who had guns using different cartridges. But they would be close enough to get them real close, and from there they could fine tune it for their own use in their gun. You would be apt to hear someone say that his chart works for his gun with his rangefinder. And when you get right down to it, what else matters? [/QUOTE]
