Hey guys,
I've been lurking here a while silently learning a few things... I recently got into shooting and after recently making a 300yd shot (with my RRA bull and my Bushnell elite 6-24), I was hooked.. I am starting my journey into the world of "longer ranger shooting" with my first purchase. A Sightron SIII 10-50X60 that I found used for a great price. I jumped on it quickly maybe too quickly... The scope reticle is fine cross hairs.
My intentions once I get a bolt gun is just paper punching, hopefully in the 600yd.+ range. Can anyone comment, give pointers, or direct me to some info on learning to use a fine cross hair reticle??? I understand that a less busy reticle will give you an uncluttered sight picture and some say this is important. But I'm not sure I understand how to gauge corrections using this reticle.
My current scope is a mildot with .1 mrad turrets and I am slowing learning to range and "read" the reticle to make shot corrections. Although all my learning at this point has been limited to ranges that I can see my shot thru the scope.
As always... Questions, comments, and just plain wise cracks remarks are all welcomed...
thanks
