Simple to Use
1. Sight-in exactly at 100 yards or 200 yards
depending on your cartridge and bullet
selection.
2. Set your scope to the highest magnification.
3. Determine the bullet path of your cartridge at
the climactic conditions you will be shooting.
We highly recommend actual firing at each
100-yard increment for best accuracy. Record
the results of your rifle/ cartridge combination
for future reference.
4. Determine the distance to your target and
select the corresponding ballistic line. Slight
holdover or under may be necessary to handle
in-between yardages.
Practice Makes Perfect
The Ballistic Plex is much more accurate than
guessing holdover and faster and more reassur-
ing to most shooters than using target-type
adjustments. The nature of ballistics is such that
everything is theoretical and if any one of the
variables change (altitude, temperature, barometric
pressure, humidity, bullet design, barrel length,
chamber fit, seating depth, etc.) so does the
ballistic performance. For maximum accuracy,
practice at long ranges under similar conditions
to those which you will experience in the field.
Technical Tip
For maximum accuracy at long ranges, instead of
sighting in at 100 yards using the center of the
reticle, sight in at a longer range such as 400
yards using the 400-yard ballistic line. This will
decrease the amount of long-range error that can
occur under various environmental conditions, or
when slightly under estimating point-of-impact
at shorter ranges.
