Burris Fullfield II Balistic Plex Reticle Help

There's the answer you really needed.

I shot a load in my 7 rem mag from 7000 down to 800 ft. It was about a 1.5 at 100. But when I lived at 4500, routinely shot at 5000, and hunted up to around 8500....I never worried about it.

According to this, 9 times.

Thanks for asking/proving my point........

Apparently. I'm one of the sub-class of shooter you assume everybody to be as I don't see anywhere in that article where this fellow even discussed any of his preparation or "verification" that he had ever sent rounds 2700 yds. downrange before. And secondly, I never told anybody to "shoot at" anything at 500 yds. That was your narcisism acting up again. The OP didn't ask you for a lecture, he asked a technical question. If you have nothing to offer in that regard, maybe you should just stay quiet? You are nowhere near as impressive in your knowledge as YOU think you are. You have no [beeep] clue who I am or what my abilities are, but I'm pretty sure I know who You are....I see you every time I go to an event. you're that guy that stands behind the line telling everybody competing, what they're doing wrong and how much better you could do "if it wasnt for (insert excuse here)"

Now all you need is a "ballistic reticle" and a 100 yd zero to become an instant sniper.No, it would appear that all you need is to spend alot of money, and then spend a WHOLE LOT of time in a forum posting about how superior one is.

Do you care to elaborate this? I cant seem to find anywhere where I told anybody to go shoot at "critters" at 500 yds. But looking at your other posts and noticing your tendency of HYPERBOLE, a resonable conclusion could be drawn that you suffer from a pretty severe case of Narcissistic personality disorder. The good news it's treatable. All you have to do is go and accomplish those things that you like to tell people you can do.With over 13,000 posts in this forum alone, you obviously have no free time to actually do what you claim you're so good at

I must be very confused as I never claimed to be an expert at anything. It was YOU who interjected a lecture and a narcisistic episode into the OP's question
 
All I know is what you said was incorrect. Maybe you should stay quiet. WRONG info ain't much help.

"Harrison said it took about 9 shots to range the target successfully".

I don't think he just "depended on his optics/info" as you said.

I didn't know reading, like shooting, was also a challenge for you.

My bad.

The guy said he was going on a hunt. You told him if he was good at shorter ranges, he'd be good to go at longer ones also. Because "it is a constant". So yes, you did tell him it was okay to shoot at something.

It's your story, tell it how you want. Anyone who can actually read can see you stuck your foot in your mouth more than once........
 
To answer your question directly the closest I could find to your velocity in the Burris ballistic reticle chart is a 270 using a 150 grain bullet at 2850 fps.

The chart reads with a 100 yard zero at 100 yards using the top crosshair the 200 yard hash mark is supposed to be right on, using the 300 & 400 yard hash marks bullet impact will be 1" high and the 500 yard hash mark bullet impact is dead on.

I would personally shoot the gun at those ranges (if possible) to verify the chart.
 
According to my Shooter app, there is only .1 mil difference in my load going from 2000ft to 5000ft (that is without changing pressures etc on the calculation) out to 500yds. For me personally, I wouldn't worry about it. ETA- my load is for a different caliber, just posting this for info purposes only.

I do agree with 2MG and others here that you have to verify your dope at the range before you go hunting. Besides shooting 22LR at long distance, the next best thing to practice your systems is to use a specialty pistol, since there are such wide velocity ranges used to apply to relatively few ballistic reticles with them that you have to do most of the calcs. yourself and then test the dope for them. This most recent setup (using the handgun Burris Ballistic Plex) accounted for a 350-yd. shot on an antelope from the sitting position. After hours of prep with this trajectory/reticle setup I had total confidence in it. The dope pictured above is OK to use and test with but there are much better systems for reticle application for LR shooting than most folks use (the pic above). IMO the LR shooter must become efficient with 2 main concepts--the application and adaptation of the mil-ranging formula for downrange zeroing and rangefinding for any multi-stadia reticle as well as the inversely proportional relationship between reticle subtension and magnification in 2nd focal plane reticles--



my system for LR shooting--range elevation and windage calcd. and tested--
