[QUOTE="jmden, post: 374165, member: 1742"] That'd be nice, but my guess is it's the more typical, "...If you are shooting a cartidge with similar ballistics to the .30-06, then select Curve 2. If you are shooting a cartridge with similar balistics to the 300 Winnie, then select Curve 3." ...and so on. That's the typical type of offering you see most for holdover scope reticles and such marketing to the masses. Capt, Ranging far is good and I hope we can get well beyond 1600yds with the thing, but due to Swaros round beam shape and tremendous divergence at long distance, it's been known to return some erroneous numbers depending on the topography being ranged. Check in with Broz, I believe it was, or maybe it was some else that's really tested all these, and he'll give you and earful on this issue on flat ground, for instance. Leica's horizontal rectangle (long dimension of rectangle is horizontal) seems to do better job in certain situations. The problem still remains that at those very long distances, the beam divergence gets to be too much and you might not be quite sure what it is that you're ranging. This is just what I've picked up from several good discussions about these issues here. [/QUOTE]
