[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 239330, member: 816"] this is my extremely KISS method on the only BDC i have. but, it kind of applies to my other .243 as well. my BDC is on my 6.5. i've only felt the need to use it once. and that was at nearly 400 yards. which is a shot i don't normally take unless under ideal circumstances. which this was. sitting with my stick at a standing deer with a slight headwind. i've got a 200 yard zero on that gun. so, i will put it dead center up to 200 and just slightly above at 300. not above the deer. just slightly above center. in other words it will kill by putting it on brown out to 300. after that the BDC comes into play. i just don't see most folks needing to use it on most calibers in most real life hunting situations. if you sit and glass a lot and have shots at standing deer then it could probably be real beneficial. but, then again.. under those situations, like jiffy said, you've probably got time to use mils or moa and make some clicks. having said that BDCs work for us laymen who haven't familiarized ourselves with mils moas and fancy ;) turrets. but, still need to practice and familiarize yourself with the BDC and your particular round and rifle and learn to read wind if that concerns you. running deer... that's just an art that takes practice plain and simple. if you haven't been shooting at running deer for 20 or 30 years and didn't get to "practice" on multiple does in the 2000s, a person may never get good at it. i like to think i am damn good at it and have a few friends who i hold in similar regard. others, i swear will never figure it out. and it gets bothersome having to track their deer year after year and then watch them waste meat and/or clean a gut shot animal. my layman's deer hunter non expert rifleman 2 cents.
