[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 630938, member: 1133"] You know for me it's not really about group size at extended range [although that's obviously important]as much as it is about calculations. In this video i calcd. a generic 22 RF ballistics program and using a 5.5"-barrelled Ruger Mk III with a "crappy" 2x Barska plex reticle that subtends 14 MOA, I then calcd. the reticle reference by dividing the trajectory needed by the reticle subtension. It gave me 1.2-"subtension units", and i hit the 160-yd. tgt. with almost every shot, especially the 1st one-- [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-c-JoKq0Fw]Pt II) Long-range Turret/Reticle Basics-Ruger Mk III/2X Barska - YouTube[/ame] I then went to 225 in this video and nailed the coffee cup on the 1st shot using the "crap" turret on a Barska-- [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNafED1Rv7k]Pt I) 1st-Shot Ruger Mk III/2X Barska at 225 yds.
