[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1087781, member: 68875"] I could not agree more with your statement of the Leica 1600B and the ballistic program built into it. If my take on what the OP was stating was incorrect, I apologize. But to me, when someone says "buy a ballistic turret", that means they send in their data and confirmed drops at a single given set of environmental inputs, and a turret is etched with 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, etc. yardages instead of actual MOA or MIL readings. So you could be 0=100, 2.25MOA=200, 3.75=300 and so on. Where just knowing your drops in MOA is 9.25MOA (9 hatch+1) at 500 yards is just as fast as dialing to "500". That way, a turret works in every condition imaginable, as it stays in MOA or MIL. A cold desert hunt at low elevation in AZ in January is going to have a lot of error compared to a high elevation warm early season rifle hunt out past 600 yards. What if you have temp sensitive powder? Or you change your load? Or bullet? If the OP is just talking removing a cap and installing a MOA or MIL etched screw on turret so he doesn't have to use a coin, then I am all for that. [/QUOTE]
