Default RE: Long Range Rifle and BDC Reticle

CHECK THIS OUT!!!!

I mounted a Burris 4.5-14X42 on my 257 Weatherby Mag. and sent an E-Mail to Burris telling them what caliber I was useing, along with the bullet I was shooting. Within ten minutes they sent methree pages of material documenting exackly where my bullet would hit on each mark . Also included was an eight-inch pieplate hit markfor shooting in the field compared to shooting at the range,along with a diagram showing me how my bullet flew compared to their scope reticle!!!!
(for example: my BDC is 200, 300, 425, 550, and 675yds for my gun)

AWSOME Customer service, and an AWSOME round to shoot if I do say so myself.
Useing this information, I shot my first Coues Whitetail at 386yds this past December here in Arizona

Hope this info helps

BDC reticles are great for quick opportunities which present themselves in the field.


Now, take it to a long distance shooting range with the round you plan on using to hunt with & confirm where your bullets is hittting at each distance vs each line, dot or circle.

No other way builds as much confidence so that you are ready at the moment to truth !!!

Practice, practice, practice........................
