[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 319941, member: 412"] Will he be toting a LRF? Assuming: 1. Variable power scope 2. Second Focal Plane 3. Duplex reticle For the most part with an honest to goodness 200yd zero, I mean, shooting paper @ 200 and being dead on, the scope turned up to the highest power, the intersection of the thick/thin portion of the reticle is going to offer a ~400 dead-on hold. Need to know which scope/reticle and a guy can hunt down actual sub tension values of the reticle and have a more accurate gauge for the duplex-intersection holdover range. I've seen way way way way way way way way way way more critters missed high vs. low. I cannot in good conscience suggest folks intentionally sighting-in a scope for more guessing. I like a "bottom 1/3rd" of the chest hold out to 225. As distance increases, slide up the body to a "top of back" hold @ 300. 350 = bottom of the chest w/duplex intersection. 400 = paste the intersection where you want the projectile to enter. 450 = duplex intersection @ top of the back. In a perfect world one runs the turret or, in the case of someone who refuses, at least has gravity pre-cyphered in the reticle taking gravity off the table. Then, waits for the critter to put it's backside into the wind, holds the upwind edge of the rib-cage and fires. In that scenario, more drift = more better essentially until one misses. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I wonder what your pops would say if I were to tell him that a pair of my 270's as currently configured and both zero'd for 200yds will allow me to "hold on hair" out to 1350yds and 1550yds?
