Works like a charm and you can reach out and nail the critters a long way out with the right caliber rifle. Turn the turret aim and shoot! Takes all of the guess work out of it and provides humane kills at longer distances  |
People would like to believe that using turrets or BDC reticles, takes all of the guess work out of long distance shooting, but that isn't the case. As the distances gets longer , windage becomes more and more critical., and measuring the wind speed and direction all the way to the target isn't usually an option. As well, at longer distances, even the burning rate of the powder changing with temperature , can become significant.
