Thread: New scope

Hey thanks for the reply. Yeah exposed turrets, only used capted. So these charts do they have like the amount of clicks up needed for a certain distance?. Yeah I’m probably more likely to be shooting out to a hundred to a couple hundred meters.

Thanks.

You bascially need to make your own chart, the old way is to shoot at different distances on the range and measure the amount of drop, this is ammuntion intensive. I still do it this way for a .22, but it can get expensive with a centrefire.

The other way is to use an app, this will give you some idea but you will still want to verify the numbers on the range.
Shooting through a chrony and getting a true velocity of your projectile will give the app a more accurate prediction than just putting in the numbers you read off the box of cartridges.

In saying that, if you let us know what breed and weight of bullet you are shooting, I can give you a rough chart right now.

Then forget about your new exposed dialable turrets.
Treat this new scope like your old capped turret scope and just zero your .308 1 1/2" high at 100y/m.
Don't touch your turrets again, just aim and shoot out to the 'couple hundred meters'.
You would ideally need to purchase a rangefinder if you go past 250/300m and then you can get into dialing the turrets.
