[QUOTE="Guest, post: 59479"] WELL.... If you are a long range hunter you should be familiar with clicks ( ie: turrets on your scope ) unless you have a NXS or USO scope with the Ret. similar to the R2... Which basically gives you hold over points... I DON NOT recommend. the S.W.A.G. hold over method. I recommend developing an accurate load .5 MOA or less at 100 yards and making drop charts or click charts and familiarizing yourself with your rifles trajectory capabilities... Because you have the latest greatest earsplitingloudenboomer.. Doesn't mean you can necessarily hit your target at 700 yards. MOA at 700 yards is 7" that is easily a gut shot if your SWAG is wrong... before I ever attempted ( read "had enough confidence" ) to target anything beyond 400 yards I must have spent 1000 rounds practicing... good thing I was an accomplished reloader already. to reiterate.. use a 100 yard zero and learn you clicks...
