Leupold Rifle Scopes
Understanding the Leupold varmint hunters reticule? Very hard question, much appreciated if ur skilled enough?
I just purchased a Leupold VX-L 6.5-20X56 long range target rifle scope with the Varmint hunters reticule, and it tells me hold over points for a 200 yard sight in. However what if I have it sighted at say 100 or 150 yards, what do the other hold over points represent in bullet drop, or how do I work out what each hold over point represents for a 100 or 150 yard sight in? Im using a .270 WIN with a Barnes TSX 110gr and have it sighted at 150yards with a average velocity of approx. 2950fps, so can you please tell me what the other hold over points now represent or tell me how to work it out please.
The book says that for a .270 130gr with a velocity of 3000fps and a sight in at 200yards, the 1st hold over point will be 300y, 2nd 400y, 3rd 500yards.
But im using a 110gr bullet a 2950fps and have it sighted at 150 yards, so what do my hold over points now represent?
The first hold over point represents approx. 5.69" bullet drop, 2nd 17.30" drop, 3rd 36.80" bullet drop
I am a long time varmint and competition shooter.
Sounds like this scope is more than you can cope with. This is not a put down - it happens. There are many other less expensive scopes with a BDC (bullet drop compensator) you can buy that will allow you to zero your rifle at 100 or 150 yards with the bullet of your choice at the speed of your choice - and the scope will allow you to simply move the top turrent and get an accurate zero at 200, 300, 400 and 500 yards without a hold over.
To make this Leupold work for you - it must be calibrated to your rifle - and you need two things to accomplish this. First - a 200 yard shooting range. Second - a Chronograph - since you MUST use the EXACT bullet specified and it MUST fly at the exact speed Leupold recommends. You can't look at an ammo manufacture's specs and guess this. You need to know.
If you do not have access to a long enough range or a chronograph to tailor your ammo - return the scope. Then go look at the BDC models. A good example of how these works is the BSA "Sweet 22" for the 22 long rifle or the BSA "Sweet 223" for the 223 Remington.
If you cannot find a model with a turrent that is perfect your caliber rifle or bullet - not to worry. Many of these scopes come with a blank white turrent so you can make your own!. Or, you can use white paint over a useless turrent and mark it.
Hope this helps!
