[QUOTE="load, post: 619736, member: 22789"] These comments show just what it is i'm talking about. first if sited in with a .308 winney at 2000 ft and 70 degrees (we will leave out baro but this compounds things farther) at 800 yrds with a load of 2750 and 178 grain amax bullets your drop will be about 18.01 moa at 6000 (most likely if your hunting elk you'll be higher than this and the difference will be bigger) the same load gives 16.46 moa of drop or 12.55" if you aimed center mass of a deer than you just missed if your up were the elk are at 8000+ (around here anyway) ft than its 15.80 moa or about 17.9" if you aimed center mass of an elk you just missed! when you add slope angle, barometrics and other atmospherics into the equation its worse. I hear the guys at the gun counters and the ill informed at the desks all the time talking of stuff they know nothing about and I asked one guy behind the counter at cabelas what the retical was calibrated for he said "30.06" i then asked what load he said it "doesn't matter"gun) but go ahead buy your fix all just blame yourself when you miss or wound something [/QUOTE]
