I'm looking forward to trying the big-bores out. Besides my muzzle loader and 12ga slug gun I've never worried about the drop of the bullet to much. I alway sighted my 270 and 308 at a inch or 2 high at 100 yards and let them be. I did use the ACOG drop lines on my AR-15 to kill a deer at over 325 yards once and it was pretty spot on.
Another reason I like a variable scope is to see how big of a buck I'm shooting at. In Ohio I'm allowed 1 buck so I want to be sure he's a good one and at 200 yards a 9 power scope is a lot better than 4 power especially since my 47 year old eyes are not what they use to be
