Furhunter... that is exactly what I do on my Vortex scope that has target turrets...with larger numbers and lines... but this Bushnell has 1/8 clicks... and those numbers on it must be a 4-6 font size, because it's difficult to read those little numbers, unless there is good light.
I may change scopes in the future, but for now, I'm looking for a Quick Fix.
Your right about factory turrets, they do work with any load. I was referring to the custom ones that are marked for a rifle's particular load.
This diy turret looks a little tacky, but for now it helps get to the needed yardage QUICK, without trying to read tiny numbers. My thinking is... that once I'm at the desired number... then minor adjustments can be made with a few minor clicks here or there... and there's no more chance of getting them on the wrong click stop, then it is without the tape.
I guess it's main purpose is for quick hunting situations... and not that it's really needed, because longer shots usually give you more time to range and set turrets... so this may be just a bunch of crap...LOL.
I got the idea from Dartman and His Neighbor who shoot coyotes way way way out there.
