[QUOTE="abinok, post: 58431, member: 16"] Im not exactly sure what youre asking, but let me see if I can give it a try. I shoot a 300WM with 220smks, with my "walk out the door zero" set to 500 yds. This means that if I want to poke a hole in something at say... 400 yds my bullet will strike high. Being broke, I use my mil dot equipped scope for most range estimating. But those dots also come in handy for holding under my targets as well. For the above mentioned shot, holding one mil low will put the bullet within an inch of poa. Ive got the mil incriments out to 500 taped to the back of my elevation scope knob for handy referance. I don't typically use holdovers past my zero range for a couple of reasons. It is much more precise to dial the moa correction into the scope. Ialso think that I will be more likly to have time to dial the adjustments if my target is beyond my zero distance. Critters wait longer at 700 than 70 in my experence. I tend to not worry about what the mil hold over ammounts are, since they are usually odd ball distances anyway. Of course, if youre just dying to know holdovers, just divide your moa drop figures by 3.438! [/QUOTE]
