[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2851460, member: 313"] I do have a few scopes that have multiple aiming points or hash marks with 100yd increments. Since the scope manufacturer couldn't possibly know what the trajectory of my ammo will be, the various crosshairs are never accurate for correct drop. What I do is use the 400yd crosshair and sight the rifle in "dead on" at 400yds. When you check the 200yd and 300yd crosshair they are rarely off enough to make any difference. But if you sighted in at 100yds, using the 100yd crosshair; the point of impact when using the 400yd crosshair would be way off. For distances over 400yds, I use the 400yd crosshair, which I know is dead on, and have a drop chart for 450-500-etc. [/QUOTE]
