Thread: Leupold VX5 CDS Advice needed please.

I have bought a vx5 off Trademe today.

Its going on a Sako 85 in 30/06.

24 inch Shilen Select Match barrel 1-10 twist. Titanium bedded.

I want to order a CDS dial, using Hornady Precision Hunter ELDX factory ammo.
Box states 2750fps.

I wish to be able to hit a gong at 500m and a deer at 350m. No further.

If I order the dial using stated BC and stated velocity, will it be usable?

I do not have a chrony so have no idea whay the actual muzzle velocity is or the Standard Deviation.

Thoughts and advice please.
