[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2352515, member: 42157"] I get that issue for a lot of people. I have used it for decades with all my rifles from woods rifles to open country cannons. I just run my own numbers, and my current open country rifles 300RUM, 28N, 7STW, 7 RM are all 4" high at 100. I know my dope and wind for 10mph. I dont shoot past 4-500 if there is much wind and I can do quick math in my head for those ranges and speed. I do agree some cannot, and I am a geek too. I carry a Kestrel, and still have not put my ballistics into my Leica's. I do agree, and I am a Leupold fan. I just don't want to spend what other scopes cost. They have been great to me over the years and I have confidence in them. I have no idea how fast it shoots what bullet. I could give you the drop guess and would never give that shot a blink of thought in wind over 10mph. Real quick though for the wind I would cut the distance shown on my taped on chart by 70 percent. How close was I on the wind. [/QUOTE]
