[QUOTE="markclogan, post: 1452, member: 334"] I have been long range hunting for a while and have started spotting for a new LR hunter and have found that if you work out a drop chart for your load, dial in your clicks and hold for center, you will be much better off in terms of hitting what you are aiming at and if you miss, corrections are easier. I spotted for another of this forums contributers on is first 500 yard+ shot and the wind was the only reason why he was off by more than an inch. It is always easier to hold for your target that kentucky wind with a mil dot. Your target may move and then your first reference point is worthless. As you will find out by reading the majority of posts, everyone wants enough elevation in their scopes to hold dead on to their targets, with the wind being the deciding factor (hence the popularity of LR mounts and 30mm tubes).
