[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1025365, member: 81139"] ^^^^^^ The guys above have it 100% correct. I've got a 3.5-21x50 h59 and when used with a good ballistics program... I'm using Shooter... You can put in your bullet data and velocity data... You determine where you want to zero... Then it will spit out your holdovers for various ranges. You can also shoot some long distance shots to refine your calibrations within your ballistics program. If you'd rather go old school, you can do that too. Zero your scope wherever you want it to be... Then shoot at distances such as 300, 400, 500, etc... The use your reticle to make note of drop distance using you reticle and then use this as your hold over data for the various ranges. You can also extrapolate holdovers for ranges in between two of your range points... Like 350 yards. Using your 300 hold over and your 400 hold over, you can get very close to determining the exact hold over for 350. It's an awesome reticle and system. Have fun with it! I'd get a ballistics program... They're inexpensive and extremely useful. Good luck, have fun, and enjoy the scope!!! [/QUOTE]
