    Long Range Shooting and TBR

    Im interested in hearing from people that use BDC turrets and TBR ranges successfully at long range?

    I use a BCD turret and my basic rule of thumb for 10° to 15° shots out to 600 yards is that I always subtract 1 click.

    If the shot is 15° and over 550y I always subtract 2 clicks.

    For anything that's steeper than 15° or past 650y - I enter the angle into shooter and make an adjustment from there.

    I have been using this method very successfully for years, but now i'm interested in how accurate TBR ranges (that I believe are simply based on the 'rifleman's rule') actually are at 700y and beyond.

    You would think that your own ballistics and atmospheric data would need to come into any range adjustments due to shooting at an angle at long range wouldn't you?

    Any thoughts?
