[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1393347, member: 104363"] I actually read instructions on my Leupold scope with a varmint reticle (imagine that!). Reticle has holdover Stadia lines and there is a way to calibrate it using a 200 or 300 yard zero and measuring the ballistic "drop" on your target at 500 yards, with one particular load. I will test it this week, but for those that have a holdover reticle, check your owners manual. My scope is a rear focal plane reticle, and does not zoom with the image at higher/lower magnification. If this test works out, I need to range, holdover with correct stadia, and it goes there. Marking the zoom knob after the test is all I need to do for a permanent reference. I use 200 as my reference zeroed yardage with the 7mm mag handload. [/QUOTE]
