[QUOTE="red6x6, post: 1402898, member: 57917"] Really enjoyed reading the thread. Though I have hunted for many years I am an absolute novice in the Long Range Field. I recently bought a Swaro 4-12 x 50 with a BT for my 7mm Rem Mag. I originally sighted in to be spot on at 100yd and then used the ballistic calculator online to set the coloured buttons to indicate 200, 300 400 etc. In doing this I ran out of adjustment (42 clicks) at 575yd. I then decided to sight in to be spot on at 250yd so the adjustment in the BT would get me out to 650yd before I ran out of adjustment. This allows me to hunt deer around home and not have to touch the rangefinder or turret until I am looking around the 325yd+ distance. When chasing Tahr I have a set up that will allow me to shoot out to 650yds if conditions allow. Am I on the right track or am I missing something? This is set for 150gn BST factory load but I have just loaded up some 162gn ELD x for development so it will all change. Can I however approach sighting in the same way? [/QUOTE]
