[QUOTE="Moman, post: 483733, member: 10494"] I use a VX-III 4.5x14x40 LR with a B&C reticle on my 300 WM shooting 180 AB's at 3050 fps. With this setup, I zero at 200 yds and can use the drops out to 500 yds. Here is a link to Leupolds site that will show you caliber/bullet configurations that will allow you to zero at 300 yds and use holdovers out to 600 yds. They are typically lighter bullets for caliber, that are shooting at high velocities. Just what LTLR was pointing out. Check out the "C" column for these loads. It is much more accurate to use dial up but I have used these to 500 yds with great results. The drops in the reticle are setup by MOA and it's pretty easy to match these to your load and current altitude. i.e., an 8 MOA holdover will not be the same POI at 1,000 yds as it is at 8,000 yds, but it's pretty easy to make a chart for your particular situation.
