Burris Eliminator - Manual (Page 4)

For most intermediate-range loads. For loads with 50 Yards/Meters
zero, verify the drop and adjust drop number at 200 Y/M.
For intermediate-range loads (Drop Numbers from 037-060). These
loads with drop numbers equal or greater than M031 or Y036 will reach
their range limit at less than 200 Y/M. To confirm your drop, verify at
150 Yards/Meters and adjust your drop number 1" for every ¾" of
vertical error.
For slow intermediate-range loads with Meter units (Drop Numbers
above M050). These loads with will reach their range limit at less than
150 M. To confirm your drop, verify at 100 Meters and adjust your drop
number 1” for every ½” of vertical error.
When verifying your Drop Number, if your group can not be covered by a
paper plate, you may wish to re consider your rifle/ammo combination
in determining its suitability for long-range shooting at game.
Eliminator Essentials
1. The trajectory compensation feature is calibrated for use only
on 12x magnification.
2. The crosshair center must be used for ranging.
3. An illuminated aiming dot will remain lit for approximately 90
seconds. If you fail to shoot before the dot goes out, you will need
to re-range using the center crosshair.
4. There can be several possible causes that result in the Eliminator’s
inability to determine the distance to a target including: Nearby
obstacles between the scope and the target such as grass, twigs,
or leaves; Rain, snow, mist or other airborne debris; Dirty objective
lens; Poor target quality for reflecting the laser back to the scope,
coupled with an unsteady hold and long distances; or Low battery.
5. If you have programmed the scope for a particular cartridge, and
the range to the target cannot be determined, the scope will display
three horizontal lines in the yards/meters area, and (usually) five
illuminated dots that serve as a ‘custom’ Ballistic Plex that is
accurately calibrated to your cartridge.
6. If the Eliminator ever seems to be working improperly, there is a
good chance that it needs a new battery. First, simply disconnect
the existing battery and reinstall and check for function. If this
doesn’t solve the issue, install a new battery.
Technical Notes
Fine Tuning and Altitude
Ammo makers generally state their bullet drop numbers at sea level.
Very generally, big game hunting bullets drop at 500 yards about ½
inch less for each additional 1000 feet of elevation. If you going to hunt
at 6,000 feet elevation and your ammo box indicates 40 inches of drop
at 500 yards with a 100 yard zero, then you would select Drop Number
37 instead of 40. Our website www.burrisoptics.com contains charts
showing more specific altitude adjustments for each cartridge. Other
ballistics software programs can also provide you even more precise
information. 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 Cartridge List by a couple of digits
for exacting performance.
Ballistics software programs are of great benefit to get you close, but
nothing beats firing five shot groups with the actual ammo at 500 yards
to provide you with the most precise information possible in order to
perfectly program your Eliminator LaserScope.
Extreme Range Shooting (Beyond 500 yards)
The factors that influence a bullet in flight at extreme range are many
and their relationships are complex.
The BC (Ballistic Coefficient) of your bullet is a factor that describes
how fast the bullet slows down. The ACTUAL BC of a bullet and the
PUBLISHED BC can be different and can affect your bullet drop. In
developing the simple-to-use programming, Burris leaned more towards
the premium ammunition with premium bullets. For all practical
purposes, from 100 to drop number distance, the way the Eliminator
LaserScope works, there is very little bullet flight error from one bullet
to another. The BC values of most available bullets are on our website
and in the Cartridge List. However, going beyond 500 yards, there can
be sizable differences in actual point of impact depending on the BC
of the bullet you are using. The chart on
page 4 lists the actual BC numbers used
for each Cartridge List. To take full and
simple advantage of The Eliminator Laser-
Scope for shooting beyond 500 yards, one
would be wise to use a bullet that closely
matches the values we represent in the chart.
Also, when the Eliminator LaserScope
gets a distance reading that is beyond
the capability of the reticle’s drop
compensation, the bottom four dots will
light up signifying to you that the target
is beyond the reticle’s capability.
