I have shot deer from powder burn distance to 450 (ranged) out in the soybean and peanut fields of North Carolina. I have a .300 Win and a .300 WSM both of which have range cards taped on the inside of their stocks. I have them zeroed for 100 yards. I have the hold over out to 500 yds and the elevation clicks in case I have lots of time and want to dial them in. I have my scope turrets set to zero and just spin them to where they need to be. I don't use the windage turret. I do Kentucky windage for that. In 18 years, I never missed or wounded a deer with either rifle. I wounded 2 with a Remington Mountain Rifle in .270 which deservedly now rests at my friends place. I haven't been gun hunting since 2001 and miss it a lot, especially when I'm down the range and watching people shoot before going off to camp.
