The 6s ones pop up and move around to a fixed zero marker.

The cds turret is similar to the 3s but much larger and easyer to read.

Is that CDS on a VX-6, VC? Looks much smaller than I imagined, which is good.

And yeah, pretty easy to set the standard VX-6 ones at zero, although can be a bit fidgety when pushing them back down to lock them in - can end up 1 click either side.

Any point getting CDS for windage? Maybe MOA one? I have no clue about wind other than what my ballistics app tells me . Decent at judging wind speeds due to working in marine environment and around cranes, etc, but haven't shot in the wind enough.

I might have missed something readi g this by phone.
A G1 bc change of 0.3 (huge error!) will only change impact two clicks at the range you indicate.

There's already perfect advice given in this thread. To sum them up cohesively:
Leave the MOA markings.
Get help calculating a trajectory.
Check trajectory with live fire.
If happy with results, mark turrets w white marker.
If that works for you, take the requested data from your table and order nicely done turret.

And buy the DVD Greg is selling under the terminator products banner here

That DVD will import your wind skill to shooting

Yep that's on a 6.
As you can see i didn't bother with a windage one.
Mainly because Im not confident enough to call wind accurately over distance so if its anymore than "i think i will hold on the left third of the vitals"type wind i will get closer or leave it for another day.
The small amount of gong shooting i do its not a problem to remove the cap.

Yes, and I am taking that advice. And then I asked a separate question about peoples opinion on a CDS for windage as well. Not sure why you felt the need to summarize for me.

My biggest problem will be finding somewhere I can shoot long range at to check the trajectory. The range I use only goes to 100m. I will sort something.

I will definitely look into that DVD - thanks.

The factory windage dial looks like the VX3 style ones, ie, awful?? hard to tell. If you don't have a marked reticle for windage, get a usable windage dial

Yea they are pretty standard under cap stuff and i guess if talking proper turrets then yea horrible, but at least they are resetable unlike the vx3 ones.

If you do get one for windage be sure to get it marked left and right and 0 to 10 each way not 0 to 20 all round like elevation because it will Piss you off.

So that Cd Dial VC, is the 1-19 in yards IE.is 1= 100 yrds, I've never had any experiece with them?

moa

Ta.

As gimp said mine is moa
But the custom bit of the custom drop system (CDS) is that you can supply them with your load data and have a turret engraved in yards or meters to suit your individual load.(at a fixed average atmosphere and alt presumably)

Cheers
So, just let me get this right
You supply them with the data, eg speed, bullet and bc, then they do the dial

Then what happens if say [ my chrony ] the speed is not good the dial will be out. Yes?
Therefore, unlike the general target turrets, say M1 or whatever. Is it simply a matter of verifiying at range and adjusting your dial to suit then recording the difference so you know.

If the above is correct [ or if I'm miles away then tell me] then it seems to me there are too many variables to really rely on a custom Cd turret, eg ,hight speed, BC
Because winter ,summer, powder type. If ever you wished to change anything you'd need a new CD turret, whereas with dials all you'd need to change is the Zero setting, then your up.

It's just a matter of having solid data before you order it, and not changing your load
