[QUOTE="SamSpade, post: 150552, member: 2911"] [ QUOTE ] Some of us live in the mountains! what good is your chart for 800 yards with 30 deg slope?? or maybe go from 6K to 10K hunting elk?? or 80deg to 30deg?? First light or neer dark, Sun popping over the horizon, you get the point! [/ QUOTE ] Slope, temp, altitude are all changes to the bullet drop. You could have a chart for 30 degrees up and 30 degree down, etc., etc. [ QUOTE ] Your not the first one to try every possibly way to have the right dot or mark or click or better mouse trap, thats why there are so many different reticules and scope combo's on the market. [/ QUOTE ] That's why asked on here if anybody tried this approach and what were the results and or remarks? [ QUOTE ] Have you verified the power changes? how much will it change if your off the true power by a smidgon? [/ QUOTE ]Obviouly you will have to start with a good scope. If you look at the first chart you see that there isn't much of change from one power to the next so the power setting isn't that critical. Plus I will need to verify these settings and my actual drop at the range. [/QUOTE]
