Long range...
Man this is slick...
I made an excel spread sheet up with yardage from 50 - 1000 with fifty yard increments, bullet drop at each yardage, what 1 click equals at that yardage (1/4" @ 100 1"@400 etc) and how many clicks to correct at that yardage. The Remington website has a cool ballistic calculator where you can get a chart for any caliber with any bullet...
I have a Remington 700 Stainless Fluted bull barrel in 7mm ultra that has been accurized and I have an 8x32x56 night force with the big target knobs. I printed out and laminated the sheet. I have 2 charts. One chart is for a 160-grain nosler partition and the other is a custom load in a 152-grain ballistic tip. I can switch back and forth with ease because the ballistic tip shoots 1/2 higher at 100 yards than does the 160. So I switch back and forth by giving it 2 clicks and then re zeroing the knob with a quick turn of the allen wrench and I don't even need to go to the range.
Well long story short, I saw a jack under a feeder at around 375 yards, shot it with the range finder, dialed up the yardage, and "poof" Cloud-O-Fur...
The only way to go…
