If time is short, looking at a drop chart and twisting turrets, may not be quick enough. I use turrets for target and for varmints, but I prefer a BDC reticle for big game.
X2. Most BDC reticles are good out to 600m with a magnum cartridge. I get 500m with my slow 308 winchester. Range and shoot. Nothing to twist, nothing to accidentally be twisted and messes your shot. Same settings for all shots.
