Drop chart is a nice touch on the side of the Leupold.
That will be very handy in the field.
Thanks guys. The drop is actually in the speed dial turret which I have data set to middle my elevation/temp ranges for hunting so I'm only out maximum 1-2 clicks at the furthest I'd consider a shot at hung up coyote or what not, give or take 600 yards. The decal shows my 10 km/h wind holds for 300, 400, 500 and 600 yards. The bonus about adding that cds-zl turret to that scope through leupold custom shop near me (Korth) is that it turned my elevation clicks into .3 moa, so I get more distance in a single rotation of turret, even with the short barrelled ruger that I first had this scope on took me to over 600 yards. this 18.5" barrel should be a bit faster so might get me to 650 yards in a single rotation from 200 yard zero. It's just a very fast 'hunt' set up. Example, rangefinder says 450, dial quickly to the 4.5 on the turret, then consult your wind quick and make your wind call, lay down and shoot. I tend to apply maximum sheep hunter minimalist mentality to things and boil it down simple as possible as hunting seems to want k.i.s.s. principle set up and gear. No fat, no target stuff needed, no computer needed or ballistic solvers, that can be done ahead of season with proper set up, it's all on the rifle, just a basic rangefinder will do and ones ability to pay attention to the wind.
