I do 1" high at 100 on all my stuff now, just so I keep things standard and it's easy to remember. That usually has me twisting turrets at around 215 and beyond. I can take a shot up to 300 without a twist, but my hunting style usually will give me time to make a few clicks.

A turret don't pigeonhole a guy,unless it's a BDC cam denoted solely in yards..............(grin)

I wanna go shoot, as I've got a ton of stuff to work up. This weather is driving me nuts. Might have to go set up some stuff on the beaches tomorrow if the wind is OK and get some good shooting in.

For most rounds, I "zero" at 200. But I have uses for closer zeros so I have data that allows me to dial down for shorter ranges and for precise targets, IE not deer rib cage, I often do.
I could live with it zero'd at 100 with no issues though too.

I sight in for MPBR with either a 2 or 3 inch radius target depending on the intended use of the rifle. This usually gets me out to 300+ or - yards before I have to start spinning turrets.

200 is probably the best way to go. I looked at your question pretty close when I ordered my last CDS dial. it really doesn't help to start out more than 200 because on the back end you don't gain that much,
so on a CDS scope say your max is 800 yards in one turn starting at 200 yards. if you start at 300 yards, you get 35-50 yards on the back end, so your range just goes to 850ish on the back end. the lack of extra yardage on the back end doesn't make up for the extra problems you get close in.

Turrets ain't voodoo. Never had to scratch muh haid when stickin' a dime in the slot. Turrets are no different.
Switched to turrets so's I didn't have to carry spare change.

Try turrets without the clicks and stay with the friction set-up.
You can "split" the clicks when shootin' way out there.
Cool beans.

Stick, your take on windage turrets........or do you aim into the breeze and hold your tongue right?

Unless you are shooting at mice...I certainly cannot see dicking with a scope for an animal that is only 250 yds away!

I'm sure those watching it and trying to keep it on the "down-low" will thank you for driving the price up.
