[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1806649, member: 74902"] It is possible to taylor the reticle harsh marks to the specific load being shot. Just zero at 200. Then with the scope zoomed down about two power levels, shoot at 300 yards using the reticle hold over. If the shot is a little high, turn the magnification up in 1/4 powder increments until is the 300 yard hash is right on target. If the shot is a bit low zoom down in 1/4 turn increments. Mark the powder level with a sharpie or piece of tape. Now when you have to shoot longer ranges, just return the power to the exact power you used to align at 300 yards. The 400, 500, etc. marks will now be almost perfect. I use a Zeiss Rapid-Z reticle on my lightweight carry rifle and have it sighted in this way. Everything is perfect out to 500 yards. Which is the range limit for the load anyways. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
