Ever since i started using a scope with CDS dial, i have changed how i shoot long range, and no longer hold over for long shots. Now aday all my rifle are zeroed at 100 yard.

What i did this morning to shoot the 45 Omega at 300 yard was utilize a ballistic calculation to set the elevation dial on the scope.











The calculation had me set the elevation dial to 8.75 moa, as shown in the following photo, which is a little too high.












The X7 has a CDS dial engraved by Leupold, in yards for the load that was used today.











The other rifle i plan to use for our non-muzzy seasons, and the elevation dial has been dimpled by me to fit the current load. Three dimples stand for the 300 yard setting. Off to the right one can see a single dimple which is the 250 yard setting for this rifle and this load.
