I think I must be of a very small minority here on the Fire. I love variables, and I shoot them all through their power ranges.

Working up loads I'm always at max. Especially like 4-.5-14's and 6.5-20's for load development.

Hunting I carry them on low power, but have often had time to take a rest and dial them up to max.

On my long range rigs I shoot the in between powers often. It's one of the reasons I love FFP scopes for long range rigs. I dial my drop and shoot hold off for wind. I find max power can be to much, so I'm often in the middle somewhere.
