[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 451366, member: 22335"] FWIW, Dad shot two antelope this October with his 7mm Wby UltraLightweight. Scope is a Nikon "Primos" 3-9x40 with a BDC reticle. Using the Nikon SpotOn software we determined the range for his circles as well as where the top and bottom of each circle matched (see the software for more specifics). I have printed out reticle charts for his two rifles (same caliber, different ammo) and laminated them for him to carry. The distance? 816 yards for the first and 512 for the second. FYI the 3rd circle was calculated to be "right on" at 516 yards per Nikon, and he held it on the second antelope and dropped it DRT with a heart shot. So, the circles can work just fine if you want them to. :D [/QUOTE]
