[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 483602, member: 10832"] In my opinion your search should be for a proper scope setup, with a ranging reticle that will allow you to accomplish your desired goals. Then the cartridge part pretty much takes care of itself as you can use whatever you want. The 5-600 yard range is the correct distance to be looking at for quick "point and shoot" style of hunting as one has to worry very little about atmospheric conditions or angle to target making enough difference to cause large changes in POI. If I were you I would look at finding a good ranging reticle and get it dialed in to your rifle/load combo and you are good to go. I would suggest looking at a fixed subtension reticle, ie a 1/2 MIL hash or 2 MOA style reticle as your choice. There are BDC style reticles, ie reticles that are designed to estimate bullet drop in increments of 50-100 yards, that will work but they are not nearly as inutitivue and are dependant on a specific ballistic profile whereas the fixed subtension reticles can be used much easier with any load or rifle. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
