My setups are as follows:
Tikka 7mm08, 2810fps, 140 AB's, 3.5-10x40 VX3, 200 yd zero, can get out to 625yds. I've shotloads of aoudad (acutally my son has), mule deer, whitetails, and a few hogs out to 480 yds, countless 8-10" gongs and rocks out to the 625.
Nosler 48 7mm08, 2835fps, 140AB's, 3.5-10x40 VX5, 200 yd zero, gets maxed out at 650yds. Same sized targets, as I try to stick to shooting vital sized targets. Only killed one deer so far with it at 200'ish.
Hill Country Rifles 7mmRM, 3-18x44 VX6 150 BST's, 3175fps, 200 yd zero, maxes out at 930yds. Killed several mule deer with it, and vital sized targets numerous times. The previous scope on this rifle was the 4.5-14x50 VX3LR CDS w/SF. Same setup, would max out at 775 (IIRC)due to 15MOA per turn w/ zero stop. I also have a custom dial for 160gr AB's for this rifle and scope.
Tikka 695 7mm RM, 2-12x42 VX6 CDS, 160 AB's @ 3050fps. 200yd zero, maxes out at 900 yds. Same targets as above, African game, several mule deer bucks, and an absolute crapload of aoudad culls.
I'm not good enough to dope 20-30mph inconsistent winds, but when the wind does cooperate, using these CDS dials is like cheating with these hunting rifles.
Hope that helps some.
