[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2353373, member: 71817"] I have access to shoot at 100yd, 200yd and 300yd. I just do a tall target test. I zero at 100 shoot a group of 5, then move the tall target to 200yd and shoot another group of 5 at the same poi as at 100yd, then move to 300yd and shoot another group of 5. It assumes you can shoot respectable groups at those ranges and This takes a while to do and requires some patience because I don't let the barrel get hot enough to cause any on target drifting. Once I get the distance between groups 100yd to 200yd, the 200yd to 300yd, I have real live data, there will be no math errors or missing set up criteria. I then use a ballistic calculator to see if it produces the results I produced on target. If it does then I produce a ballistic chart, out to whatever range I desire, encase it in a weatherproof sleeve and attach it to my rifle stock. I have one scope that adjusts in moa's per click, all the rest are 1/4" per click. Just to cut down on my decision making at shot time I've stopped using the moa scope just because I found that the fewer things that I have to think about when that big rack buck is standing at 350yds the better off I am. Sometimes the blink of an eye is all the time you have. [/QUOTE]
