[QUOTE="hinkraka, post: 421168, member: 26179"] Russ Hatch: different powders, different hardness of bullets and so on builds pressure differently, so even different batches of powder (here in Sweden I can only store so much powder) can have different vibrations with the same load recepie. BUT that doesn't really matter for the turret. Since the turret only cares about V0, and that you are dead center on a certain distance. So even if my two loads exit the barrel at two different places, have they the same speed I can use the same turret (given the same bc of course). It's up to me to line up hits and reticle before that. So there I don't think the turret has any negatives. I just don't find it versatile enough. I love being able to zero my scope with one load, have a few markings saying that with another load I use +/- so and so clicks in elevation and windage and I'm true. Then I have two lists of drop and how to compensate for that, and for windage. I want this setup, even though at times it is more work than the BDC-turrets, since I find it more versatile, less work in switching and less being fooled by numbers for another load :P [/QUOTE]
