[QUOTE="charliewhisky, post: 2361843, member: 26716"] No ranging necessary at 350yds? I realize that this may not appeal to those who swear they will never take a shot they can't guarantee will kill cleanly. I don't know your ballistics or what your MPBR is but a redo on your MPBR could be the answer. My 30-06 with a 200gr ELD-X at 2700FPS and a 230yd, 6 in, MPBR has a 12 inch drop from the aiming point at 350yds. I could rework my zero to 300yds and have a topline aiming point with a 5 inch drop at 350 yds and a need to use a low line aiming point inside 250 yds to compensate for the 5.5 inch rise at 180 yds. Or, I could leave the 270yd zero and shoot a half mil topline AP at the suspected 350 yds to get a 5 inch drop at 350yds. Either way, my bullet will probably kill if I get a hit. I suspect that a flatter trajectory with a lighter, faster, bullet would probably give someone a MPBR with a 350yd max. [/QUOTE]
