Burris Eliminator - Manual (Page 3)

There are several ways to determine your Drop Number:
1. For factory loads, the Cartridge List that came with your scope will
show the drop number for most of the currently available factory ammo.
2. Factory ammo web sites sometimes provide this information.
3. The drop number may appear on the ammo box.
4. Ballistics Software Programs.
5. Measure your actual bullet drop at 200 or 500 yards, when sighted in
at 50 or 100 yards, as needed.
6. Use the Cartridge List to estimate your drop number by finding similar
loads or cartridges with the same muzzle velocity and BC number.
7. Burris website-www.burrisoptics.com.
Note: the actual correct drop number will be affected by your gun and
shooting altitude unless you actually measure your drop. All other methods
provide approximate numbers, typically correct ±3 inches at 500Y.
No matter what units you chose to work in (yards or meters) or distance
you intend to Zero at, the Cartridge Lists are selected based on drop at
either 200 Yards when zeroed at 50 Yards (for intermediate range
cartridges) or 500 Yards when zeroed at 100 Yards (for modern long- range
cartridges).
Your 3-digit Cartridge List will begin with a “0” if you need to sight-in at 50
Yards/Meters, a “1” for 100 Yards/Meters sight in, or a “2” if you intend to
sight-in at 200 Yards/Meters. This number is followed by your Drop
Number which will vary between 5 and 90. (See the Cartridge List to
determine what zero ranges and drop numbers are available and
appropriate for your cartridge.)
There are four arrows on the Setup button
on the right side of the scope. These are
used only for programming. They have no
function during normal use of the scope.
Enter Set-Up Mode
1. Push the Main Button to turn on the scope. Push the Main Button once
more to get the three dashes display (— — —) in the range area.
2. Push the Forward Arrow (right side
of scope) first, then the Main Switch
(left side of scope) and hold them
both down simultaneously for 6
seconds. Release the two buttons
when display changes. This is called
“Set-up Mode.” The first number
that appears for two seconds is the
firmware version. Next, the display
shows the currently selected (Y)ards
or (M)eters and Cartridge List . On
new scopes the reading will be “Y
145” (the factory shipped table).
If a table from the Cartridge List
has been previously selected,
the designation for that table is
displayed.
3. With the currently selected table displayed you have 30 seconds to
click the Forward Arrow button to enter the Cartridge List Set-up mode.
The “T” (for Table Select) is lit steady; the
Unit (Y or M) is flashing when you enter
Table Select mode. Press the Up Arrow
to select Y (yards) or the Down Arrow to
select M (meters). When you have the
measurement unit you want flashing,
press and release the Forward Arrow
button to load your choice.
4. The “T” is still on steady, your (Y or M) is on and steady, your first
numeric digit is flashing, and the other two are now out. Enter your
selected Zero Distance: 0 = 50 Yards/Meters; 1 = 100 Yards/Meters; or
2 = 200 Yards/Meters. Press the Up
Arrow to increase the number or the
Down Arrow to decrease it. When your
selected sight-in distance is displayed
(flashing), press and release the Forward
Arrow button.
5. The last two numbers (Drop Number
from the Cartridge List ) should be flash-
ing. Press the Up Arrow to increase the
number, or the Down Arrow to decrease it. When the Drop Number you
want is displayed (flashing), press and release the Back Arrow button
to exit the Set-up mode.
6. You are ready to go shooting. Re-zero the gun if necessary at your
selected sight-in distance. For optimum accuracy, verify point of im-
pact by actual shooting. Depending on the exact ammo performance,
your gun’s barrel length, the elevation, and any extreme temperatures,
you might need to increase or decrease your Drop number by a couple
of digits for exacting performance.
Your programming is stored in the scope no matter the condition of your
battery and the scope will still remember your programming if the battery
is removed and reinstalled.
Understanding The Cartridge List Display:
Cartridge List M234 means: (M)eters, 200 Meter Zero, a cartridge with 34
inches of drop at 500 yard when zeroed at 100 yards.
Cartridge List Y157 means: (Y)ards, 100 Yard Zero, a cartridge with 57
inches of drop at 500 yards when zeroed at 100 yards.
Cartridge List Y014 means: (Y)ards, 50 Yard Zero, a load with 14 inches
of drop at 200 yards when zeroed at 50 yards.
Verifying your drop number:
For long-range cartridges (All cartridges zeroed at 100 or 200 units).
Verify the actual drop at 500 Yards/Meters. If your group is low, increase
the Drop Number by the number of inches it is low. If the group is high,
decrease the Drop Number. (The change needed will be measured in
inches regardless of the units set.)
