[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 944341, member: 30743"] 1. Yes, but for sighting in I'd have it on it's highest power. There's no reason not to when target shooting. 2. Yes, pick a yardage to zero the scope, typically100 or 200 yds, zero the scope at that range then create a drop chart for longer distances. When you determine the distance to the target reference your drop chart and dial the elevation turret to that MOA setting. There are many ballistics programs that will let you enter in the data of your load and rifle and give you a very close approximation of where the bullet will hit at various distances. You want to shoot your rifle at those distances to verify it, but the ballistics programs will get you very close and save you a lot of experimental time. 3. Yes, you'd just need to create two different drop charts for the different loads. I'd personally only carry one load hunting, it's too confusing trying to swap loads and data in the field. Anything that will kill a deer will do in a coyote, just shoot the coyote with your deer load. I've shot many coyotes while deer hunting with my deer load and they all died post haste. 4. Yes, but I prefer to dial. I use the reticle for windage most of the time. 5. Shoot a lot with your new toy. [/QUOTE]
