[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 229990, member: 3756"] UltraMag45, (Trace 1) is for altitude = 0 and (Trace 2) is for altitude = 8000 ft. You'll find out that about 750 yards or so you can miss a whole deer just due to altitude change. Notice that by just moving your rifle to 8000 ft of altitude, your zero is not any more at [B]300[/B] yards; now it's at [U][B]308[/B][/U] yards and at 300 yards you're almost 1/2" higher which is the beginning of larger changes as the distance gets longer. If you measure the scope height (from center of bore to center of scope) I'll do my best to make a drop chart for you. [IMG]http://i36.tinypic.com/2d9qo0y.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
