[QUOTE="Shoot 708, post: 835330, member: 57607"] Made it out today. Shot 3 different load increments, 162 amax 2000 MR powder, 3 shot groups of each at 100 yards. Chronographed these loads, then did some long range shooting on hanging steel plates at 500, 600 & 800 yards. Using the isnipe app for elevation adjustment. Had some first shot hits at 500 and 600. Didn't hit at 800 with 5 or 6 attempts. Dialed back to zero for another 3 shot group with a good return to zero. The Buckmaster seems to track good for me. I do have a cheap bushnell banner 3-9 x 40 BDC on another rifle. This was an "upgrade" from the cheap Simmons scope that came with it. I wanted something with a little bit better optics. This is my short 20" barrel light weight brush gun, wasn't planning any long range for this setup. I went the extra $10 or so for the BDC option just to see if it might work at that cheap a price point. It comes with a set of prestamped turrets, each with it's own letter. You pick the letter that is the closest match to the load you are shooting. I zeroed it to shoot 3" high at 100 yds, Then dialed elevation up and was able to hit steel at 500 yds. After dialing back to zero and shooting again, point of impact was now 3 1/4" higher than my original zero. It does seem to hold a good zero once I have it set, as long as I leave it there. The clicks on it are pretty sloppy, kind of hard to tell when each click happens. Looks like this will stay a 300 yard and under rig. Which still has put some venison on the table the last couple of years. [/QUOTE]
