[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 108973, member: 3776"] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] If you live at say sea level and your bdc is calculated for this alltitude and you book a Deer hunt in another state and the elevation of your hunt is 7500 feet,the difference in correction will be considerable....How do you account for this difference with a bdc? [/ QUOTE ] You print a new one. Man, you guys are all over Buffalobob's case like you didn't read what he said. Of course it isn't as accurate as carrying a computer with you in the field--which you ought to for extreme ranges--and nobody has ever said that it was. But unless you are carrying a computer with you, there's zero difference in accuracy between a BDC and a pre-made drop chart you tape to your stock. They contain exactly the same information. I wouldn't use a pre-made drop chart for 1500 yd shots from a bench with a 60lb gun either...but not everybody here is doing that. [/ QUOTE ] First off my post was not in reply to bob's. Secound in my opion you are talking talking about a drop table for each condition taped to target turrets,that is writen in yardage, I don't think that is the same thing as a BDC.As I undrstand BDc they have a cam set for a specific load at a specific altitude and distance.If you are printing a label apparrently you are tapeing them to target turrets.
