[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1025784, member: 33046"] For me....... I have a Leupold VX-6, 3-18x50 with CDS and Illuminated dot. The CDS turret is matched to my bullet and velocity. First custom turret I've owned and [B]I LIKE IT[/B] :) I zero my rifle at 200yds and set the turret, from that point on, its dial and shoot. I can dial it down to 100yds. If left at the 200yd zero, I'm just slightly lower than 4" high at 100yds. At 400yds the bullet drops just over 48" with over 1,000fpe. For a long range, beyond 200yds, all elements would have to be pretty much perfect or darn close. I've found that wind doesn't affect a bullet to much out to 200yds but.... once you exceed that distance the wind plays a [U]huge[/U] part. Most years where I live, I wouldn't need a spotter, as we normally have snow clear up to your.... well you know. This is my first year with a true long range muzzleloader and just my luck, the poorest year hunting since back in the 60's and early 70's. Between EHD, bTB, spring coyote predation on fawns and two really BAD winters, our herd is way down. We had over 40" of ice on an 8,500 acre lake last year with no pressure cracks. The year before, the snow depths made our designated muzzleloading season here, all but impossible. Practice, practice for next year...... [/QUOTE]
