[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 634980, member: 1007"] No offense but the rifleman's rule (cos*range) will work at medium ranges with minor angles. Bottom line, 600 yards shots with 20 degree angles (very common real world hunting senarios) the rifleman's rule is not good enough. With 3000 FPS and a .6 BC the rifleman's rule will be 5" off. 5" off may not be bad on a large target but on a small deer can be the difference between a miss or worse yet a wounded loss versus a clean kill. Cos*drop or holdover is much more accurate but still not as accurate as the Sierra rule as you call it. Again, no offense but these are the facts. When it comes to long range hunting, do it right. There is no half a$$ed methods that lead to consistent clean kills at distance. Many here will argue with you as well about it. Forget the video. Go do it in the real world and see for yourself.
