[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2662833, member: 73596"] I dont believe much in using the subtensions (stadia) for exact yardage, nor has it ever happened to.me that an animal came right to.an exact distance at longer ranges. So, based on these factors and the fact that there is a decent t chance for a short shot, I would zero at 100 amd then use a ballistic calculator to determine what the subtensions are good for (yardage) at both full magnification and 1/2 magnification, amd make up yardage cards for both. If you don't have access to or knowledge of any ballistic calculators, reach out to me on a PM amd I will be glad to help you. Also, for short to medium range shots we can probably get decent drops with a combination of back-checking the load data that you posted and good drop data at a couple of extended ranges. Meaning if you can zero at 100 and then take a couple shots at 300, we can back-calculate the velocity based on the real drop that you see on the target. Again I can help you with that, if you need.
