[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 239333, member: 3373"] Don't have a BDC scope but have used the concept. Out to the 200yd range I know I can hold right on. At the 300yd range I know my gun will drop a shade over 3 inches so just hold up about 3 inches (does it really amtter if I'm an inch high or low?" At 400yd I drop about 17 inches so hold right at top of back or slightly higher and so on. With practice I know how much my gun's trajectory drops so I hold accordingly. It's not rocket science to a point. Trajectory is the easy part, wind drift is what really takes practice. You get out in that 400yd range you will be surprised how far that bullet will drift. Another major concern with long range shooting is not always hitting the target, it's do you have enough energy to kill the intended target? As mentioned earlier, if you're going to get into the long-range game, you cannot practice to much. [/QUOTE]
