Default RE: using a Nikon BDC with .308

ORIGINAL: muzzypower

I know that it's designed that way, but is it pretty much exact with the .308 shooting 150 grain bullets at 2800 fps. Actually, the fusions I shoot are 2820 @ the muzzle
As always, it depends. Depends on how fast your barrel is. Depends how high your optics are mounted.

Like the directions say for you BDC. You have to go out and shoot it to find the power to set the scope too for each yardage. In other words, you have to sight the gun in at 100yards, then shoot 500 yards, and mess with the magnification until you are zeroed at 500 yards. Then the same thing at 400, then 300, and lastly 200. Sounds easy, but beleive me, little more difficult than that. You need a gun that is capable of pulling off 1.5MOA groups at least at 500 yards.

I have a BDC scope from nikon on my 204. After working on this with over hundred rounds. I should have just got a mildot.
