Once you have determined which triangle is the correct one for your rifle caliber,

bullet weight, and muzzle velocity, always remember that is the position to which

you must set the power selector when using any of the hold points on

the Boone and Crockett

Big Game reticle.

DETERMINE THE RANGE TO THE TARGET

Determine the range to your target using a laser rangefinder such as a Leupold

RB800C, or RX

or RXB Series digital laser rangefinder, or utilize the traditional

VX-III range estimating feature using the space between the Duplex central

aiming point and the top vertical heavy post. For more information about how

to use this feature, consult your Leupold Riflescope Owner’s Handbook.

AIMING

The Boone and Crockett

Big Game reticle is a hold point reticle. For targets

judged to be 300 yards away, hold directly on the 300 yard hold point. For 350

yard targets, hold directly between the 300 and 400 yard hold points. For your

convenience, a 450 yard hold point has been included between the 400 and

500 yard hold points.
