    Along same vein of absolute simplicity... Assuming(which is always problematic) you know your drops at different ranges. If you have a big open area where you can take scope...rifle ok out on country but problematic on sports field lol. Mark your drops for say every 50 yards on tall sheet of cardboard,wooden plank etc.set it upright where can easily be seen and walk away to each fifty yards/meter and turn around.put cross hairs on mark and take note off,write down where your approximate drop mark works out to in scope.go another fifty and look again etc etc etc till your out to your ..now too far for me range. Than when you see staggypooh again at 380 yards you can put your 400 yard aiming point on his middle of shoulder and squeeze one off.

Size:  7.16 MBa guesstimate on BC going from sierra 150grn pills and bit less than velocity on box to account for shorter barrel. You still have to verify its dropping that much to be ethical. Shooting wallabies is good way to do it and still get out for a hunt.
