[QUOTE="fc124, post: 716371, member: 34665"] I zero'd at 200 yds and used a chronograph to get velocity and evaluate the consistency of my reloads (Berger 168 gr VLD). I shot at 300, 400, 500 and 600 yds and kept good notes. Using the LRBC program on the Vortex website, I entered ballistics data and velocity. The chart vs what I actually shot was close but not close enough for my satisfaction. The key was the "Long Range Drop Data" feature which has you enter actual data from a "far range" shot (I used 600 yds). After this adjustment, their chart matched my 600 yd data and was right on or within 1 click at the closer yardages. I sent the data to Vortex using the chart they provide and two weeks later my turret was in my hands...in the middle of hunting season even! I don't dispute Brado16's thoughts on Nightforce but Vortex is a good value for the amount of $$ I could spend. :) [/QUOTE]
