[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 354502, member: 9172"] On my hunting gun (actualy taped on the scope...NSX 8-32) I have the moa dialups from my 300 yard zero up to 1500 in 25 yard incruments. I also have the wind in 5 mph incruments (5 -30 mph full value) to 1500 in 100 yard incruments. I also have a drawing of the retical (np2r) with TWO vertical lines. On this I use the standard (2MOA hash marks) holdovers for 22x on the left of the left line, but I also use 3 MOA (between the two vert lines) at 17.5 and 4 moa at 11x (on the right of the right vert line). This is for simple holdovers from my 300 yard zero. Then, somewhere in my gear I have another copy of the retical drawing with the 3 different MOA values, but............this one is from a 1500 yard zero.....gets me out way further than I have shot to date. I was going to use it at the mile shoot at the IBS 1k nats in OHIO in 08, but I got there with simple dialups. It all sounds way more complecated and cluttery than it really is. There is lots of room on the scope when you have the 4" sunshade. BUT.........I found this year that I need to use bigger fonts to be able to see them. Somehow I aged enough to the point where I need reading glasses. WHO's FRIGGEN BRIGHT IDEA WAS THAT???? I guess my point is that, although I have not used the 1500 zero + holdovers yet ( I spend the bulk of my shooting time now days with my 1K comp guns) , It would be no different with a 300 yard zero or a 1500 yard zero. I have tested the 22x, 17.5x, 11x holdovers with the 300 yard zero........it is simple math and it works!!!! Good luck and have fun!! [/QUOTE]
