1) Custom .17 Mach IV XP-100/4-12X Burris Compact for coyote fur/pr. dogs. 2) Custom XP-100 20 BR/3-9X PFI Rapid Reticle will replace the .17 M IV as a dedicated fur hunter. 3) Custom Savage Striker .243 WSSM/Leupold 4.5-14 VX-III/ VH reticle/tgt. elevation turret for intermediate range late...

Ballistic Plex is one of the simplest ballistic reticles out there. I love it and have 3 of them. Best way to zero it, is to run a ballistics program for your load that calculates drop in MOA. Convert the reticle subtensions to MOA, then match up to the program. Then TEST it to verify the zeros...

Leupold's also gonna be offering a custom reticle system, but it's sounds like it's gonna be limited to less minutes than the TMR would provide. Hard to say though. Fact is, i think it's up and running now-- at least it's in the latest Leupold catalog. Here it is--...

If this topic is still active, i'd also take a good look at the Tactical Milling Reticle Leupold's putting out-- simply a mil-dot reticle but the dots have been replaced by hash marks for more precise reference, as well as .5 mil marks-- better yet, and .2 mil marks between the 4th and 5th mil...

Certainly with that calber u shoud get to long-range no problem wth the 115 Nosler. Got a buddy that's shooting it out of a 25-284, and has made kills to beyond 500 yds. on antelope. I'd take a good look at the new Tac. Milling Reticle Leupold's advertising. That'll get u 5 mil of trajectory...

Todd, i'm having a hard time loading my scanner on my old laptop, but as soon as i get it on here i'll post the pic. (Actually, i forgot the camera, and had to come back the next day to get the pic.)

Have u thought about just having a target turret installed?-- probably a little more accurate than a ballistic reticle (especially for pr. dogs). This way u can use the horizontal plex post tip for windage reference on the same plane as your elevation hold (in tenths of a "plex unit"-- like the...

Thks. guys, i was gonna try to video it too-- just didn't have a 3rd hand.

If u're trying to go long-range with it, i'd shoot the highest BC bullet that'll stabilize out of your particular barrel. Long-range coyotes are right at the edge of the little .17's ability to perform, so best to put as much weight + BC as u can out there. Try the 30 Berger's, maybe Chappie...

I've got some loads for a 16" custom Savge Striker that i'll be testing soon. I'll report my findings as soon as i obtain some data.

The more popular factory/wildcat offerings could hit 500 yds. with a good degree of consistency if we had a .3 or higher BC bullet.

Give us a higher BC option-- 40-50 gr. >/= .3

Couple of friends and i are gonna be putting on a long-range handgun seminar out here in Pueblo this May, for any that may be interested. We will be teaching optical applications for long-range zeroing, windage and ranging reference, and will be running 2 roving silhouette courses out to 1000...

Had a buddies 270 WSM Nesika Bay with a heavy 26" stainless barrel (can't remember what make now), 8.5-25X Leupy LR, with a tactical McMillan on loan to me. The Nosler 140 BT does 1.5" @ 300 yds. out of the rig. Went out with Mom (she likes to hike around the prairie) couple weeks ago to do some...
