It all depends on where you zero is and the ballistics of your load.
My 200 yard zero on my 7mm 160grn accubond or partitions put my max at 750.
thanks my buddy talked to a guy on affordable long range and he said that i should get more than that,I think the VX5 Custom turret is still 2 full revolutions on a custom dial.
The old CDS custom dials were almost 1 full revolution with the built in zero stop which is about 10-11MOA so that’s why most rifles were only 600-700 yards or so.
That makes some sense, but you have to sight in to be 1.9 high at 100 versus sighting it in to be dead on at 100. Couldn't you just keep your dial set to 250 or 300 and be in the same boat? Are you worried it will move somehow?I recently ordered my custom dial for a vx-5 3-15x44. I went with a 250 yd. zero on my .270 wsm, which puts me 1.9" high at a hundred, 2.1 high at 200, 0.0 at 250, and -2.6 at 300. Did it this way because if it's inside 325, I won't have to mess with the turret. If something is standing farther away across an open basin or something, and I can't get closer, then I figured I'd have time to mess with the dial. Otherwise, I'd rather not risk the extra time/movement, etc. Just hold dead center out to +/- 325 and it'll be within a couple inches of the aiming point. That was my logic, anyway. Hope that's helpful.
