When making charts…. I list 3 different temps on each chart for each load at 32, 70, and 100 degrees. Slit the difference for in between temps. Works great. Elevation change always required a new calibration or chart. Powder temp of round also will make a big shift in MV…. For instance if it’s 70 degrees outside but your ammo has been sitting exposed to direct sunlight for an hour… your cartridge temps may be 95 degrees which means the powder is also 95 degrees which means your burn rate will change and burn faster which equals increased muzzle velocity…. Which equals the shot going high. Adding a suppressor can increase muzzle velocity on a gun…. Not always but it can essentially simulate having a longer barrel.

I feel like there attacking leupold’s custom dial system haha. But they do bring up very good points I don’t wanna pay 80 bucks for every load I want to shoot. Likewise with the atmospheric conditions.

Are Vortex scopes waterproof with the turret caps off ? I own two crossfires and I don’t want to ruin them.

How do I find the turrets you can mark like a whiteboard for a razor gen ii and gen iii

Putting in extra work, for extra week of summer. I did that too

So as to your "limitations", when hunting at a much different elevation, you simply install a different custom turret calibrated accordingly. No issue.

Another awesome topic. I think I might not need custom turrets. Mainly because you get locked into one cartridge. Which is okay. But sometimes, I can only shoot what is available. And, I keep changing which scope I want to carry. My newest rough and tumble hunting rifle now wears the Vortex Crossfire II 3x-9x / 40 mm Dead Hold BDC scope. My hunting areas offer no more than about a 50 yard shot. And light weight scope like that is adequate, about like shooting a red dot. And I just zeroed it with that particular scope yesterday. Before, I had the Diamondback Tactical on and had it zeroed with that quite well. the 6-24 magnification was wonderful and I hit dead on the mark with a hot barrel. And I have gotten so used to the Diamondback. Now, like a bridge before wedding day, I am thinking of putting it back on, even though it is heavier. I just love that scope so much. And I live the Venom even more but it is heavy. Granted, where I hunt with 50 yard shots, I could just dial up two clicks with the Crossfire II, or 3 solid clicks with the Diamondback. And I just don't know. I like the variability and choice of the Diamondback dialing but I like the 14.8 ounces of the Crossfire II. And I could get a dead deer with either one. So, as handy as custom yardage turrets are, I would probably forego. Now, I am tempted to put my Diamondback back on, which means another range trip to re-zero again. Good thing I did not use all of the Federal Nontypical Whitetail .308 Win 150 gr. (My rifle shoots that round .5 MOA on a hot barrel.) Dang it, looks like I am pulling out the torque wrench.

do you still make the dope disks for the flip caps??

Grab a Revic range finding binoculars, and it will tell you the shoot to distance due to their ballistic calculation.

I just run different Temperatures and altitudes through a ballistic calculator and even my .308 win only shifts an inch and a half between with all the variables at 500 yards so I'm not that worried about it for hunting purposes.

Does custom turrunts affect a BDC reticles in Crossfire II models and would it be economical vs buying a higher end scope ?

one thing you guys didnt mention is SFP vs FFP, custom turrets only really work on FFP, great talk as always

Can you do a 10 minute talk about the 3030 because its soooooo underrated

Team Badassery sent me over.

What about this: know what density altitude your turret was made for, and each day calculate the appropriate adjustment. So on each hunting day you would know "I need to add 10% to my range, so for 300 yards I dial to 330." Would that work? Still seems easier than converting MOA or MILs.

1 load 1 rifle 1 custom turret = always works

#whizzumm

Well, think God im a Crazy Florida Man. 🤪. The elevation change is practically nonexistent, and the temperature variable is just as negligible.

Bs get degrees

Blah. Keep it mil/mil

"I am a very ethical hunter... and I want to make sure that if I fire on an animal... that it's going to go down quickly"... Haha... says the dude who hunts with the peashooter .308

Sounds like excuses not to innovate and cling on to the PRS croud. 90% of hunters dont go from one extreme to the other in terms of elevation temp and distance. And a 1moa difference in a double lung or shoulder shot isnt a deal breaker. Just admit you dont like hunters and we can all keep buying leupolds.
