Default RE: Good long-range deer calibers.

Are there any of thosereticles that really work on long shots? Seems kind of suspicious to me.
The rangefinding reticles doprovideball park estimates of ranges to the target but due to such a large variance in the sizes of big game animals,theyare notoverly accurate.A laser rangefinder is much more accurate.As far as trajectory is concerned,the reticle can be custom made to correspond with the trajectory of a certain load out of a certain rifle,in which case they can be quite accurate for that gun and load.Howeverif the reticle is a mass production unit not specific to your rifles trajectory it once again will only be a ballpark estimate at longer ranges.
