    I have used a similar CDS style system but with a Huskemaw scope, it worked really well. I also have a VX6 and considering using the CDS system. This setup is very quick to use when paired with range finding binos.

    I was under the impression that there wouldn't be a lot of difference when shooting out to say 500/600 yards? Would be pairing this with Leica HD-R.

    You have the right numbers.

    To 350m you barely need to make adjustments. Atmospheric pressure etc will not have a meaningful effect. It will be much better than the hold over people might otherwise use.

    350-500m you stated is on steel. It will not always work, but you will learn when and why which is what steel is for and have more confidence to 350m.

    These are low profile turrets? As someone else said, having MOA and your custom marks would be good.

    I have Leupold turrets like this so they do them.

    Im about to order CDS dial shortly too. I'm going to give them my own data.

    Ive also heard its better to get them done in the states rather then Aus, as they take a long time from Aus.
