[QUOTE="Buano, post: 433558, member: 21641"] The Horus reticles take Ballistic reticles to their obvious end by creating a "generic" ballistic reticle for both bullet drop & wind drift that can then be translated to fit any load, in any environment, so long as you have the ballistic information for what you are shooting to plug into your PDA or laptop. Drift & drop charts can then be printed to tape to your stock for hunting. In a police/sniper situation the PDA would sit beside you & there would be no need for printing off tables. This system has only one main advantage over cranking turrets: your scope is always set, with an appropriate point of aim, for shots at any distance. So when you were zeroing in on the muley at 873 yards & a nicer one walks out at 179 yards you don't have to mess with your scope, simply pick your point of aim & shoot. Leupold's Boone & Crocket reticle approximates this out to 500 yards, with limited wind-drift offsets. The other option would be for Leupold to continue the Boone & Crocket reticle as far as their lens will allow. If Leupold could get their reticle to 1,200 yards or more, most of us would say that's enough for our purposes. It would then be up to us to determine what the true ranges are for each reticle demarcation with our loads. [/QUOTE]
