The ballistic compensation technology is the first to accurately determine the drag model and ballistic coefficient(BC)for your bullet in your system.The 5-20 LRH is the first rifle scope built specifically to take advantage of a long range hunting situation,and the first and only scope with patent pending windage compensation technology-anyone shooting at extended to long range in hunting conditions without windage compensation is just guessing.
REQUIRED TOOLS FOR COLLECTING CORRECT DATA.
1.Chronograph
2.Anemometer
3.Barometer
4.Altimeter
5.Thermometer
6.GPS
This is the data needed to get your customized turret for your Huskemaw scope.
1.BULLET WEIGHT(grains)
2.Chronographed velocity(average of 5 shots;DO NOT USE PUBLISHED DATA IMPORTANT.
3.Temperature from the test site.
4.Altitude and/or atmospheric pressure(from the test site)
5.From a 200 yard zero,the actual bullet drop in MOA from two distances(mid and long range ie; 500 yards and 1000 yards;400 yards and 800 yards).The furthest long and mid range drop information form your load provides the most accurate data.
This is also very important for your custom turret or knob.BESIDES THE DATA GATHERED AT THE TEST SITE,YOU MUST ALSO PROVIDE THE TEMPERATURE AND ELEVATION OF YOUR INTENDED HUNT LOCATION(If different than your test location)This is when if needed could purchase a couple different knobs for different hunting locations so your scope will be very accurate.
I use a instrument that is made by Kestrel products that can provide most of the atmospheric data required.
When gathering your data above choose a day with little or no wind to minimize windage hold.Using a steady bench and gun rest,you will want to zero your rifle at 200 YARDS.You can set up your chronograph and record the average velocity while shooting to zero.When rifle is zeroed,Adjust your index ring snugly and lock it in.Set up a target at mid range,shoot a minimum of three rounds.Adjust your elevation as needed until your group center is the correct elevation for the distance.Follow the DVD instructions that your scope comes with for finding group center.Record the setting in MOA or Clicks.Repeat the process for your long range target.Using your instrument(s),gather your atmospheric data.Record your bullet caliber,weight and ballistic coefficient(BC).If you do not know your bullets BC,that information can be found in teh reloading manuels and bullet manufacturers catalogs.At this point you should have all your test data.If you can view the DVD,group center can be calculated as follows:
1.Measure all bullet holes in a group from center of hole to the vertical line.
2.Add all distances for a total in inches.
3.Divide the total by the number of holes in the group.
You now have the group distance from the vertical line.
4.Do the 3 steps above for the horizontal line.Now you have the group distance from the horizontal line.
5.Using both the measurements(horizontal and vertical),mark your true group center.
Once this has been completed you can submit your DATA if you have access to a computer and dvd player follow the instructions watching the DVD.For those that do not have access to a computer fill in the scope Data sheet that comes in owners manuel and mail it to the address provided.Do not forget to submit your hunting atmospheric data along with your test data.
Once your new turret or custom scope knob arrives set your rifle on a cleaning vise or bench.Make sure the turret is at the zero position then un-screw the original turret screw,remove the original turret,position your customized turret in place assuring your zero placement and replace the turret screw.
This is an example of my 7MM Rem mag.
My BC is 0.6430
Sight height 2
Velocity 2961
Altitude for my hunting turret 5730
pressure 24.05
Temp 52
Humidity 100
Your custom turret will be etched to tell what your bullet is grains and will have marks on the side for yardages.
My turret starts at 200 yards zero.
300 yards path -5.8 inches clicks on turret 6
400 yards path -16.8 inches clicks on turret 12
500 yards path -33.3 inches clicks on turret 19
600 yards path -55.9 inches clicks on turret 27
700 yards path -85.2 inches clicks on turret 35
800 yards path -121.8inches clicks on turret 44
900 yards path -166.5 inches clicks on turret 54
Your custom turret will also have marks for say you range your game at 375 yards you can click to 375 yard marks on your scope quick no counting clicks so this can be adjusted quick.
Now for you guys with custom rifles that will shoot much faster than my 7MM your knob can be made to shoot even farther distances but to tell you the truth I dont like shooting over 500 yards on game and it must be fairly calm at that, some can and do shoot farther but I dont like to 500 is plenty far for me but shooting out to 1000 yards on milk jugs or targets sure makes fun practice and will give the confidence you need on the 500 yard and closer shots.Make sure you can get your rifle shooting the best groups possible with your hunting bullet choice.If it takes slowing your rifle down a little for tighter groups or experimenting different powders and loads do this first before gathering your data for your custom turret.I think each turret can run around 100.00
If you have anymore questions e-mail the guys at thebestofthewest.net they also make custom rifles now with these scopes all set up with custom ammo for guys that just like to have everything set up to go and do not load this makes it easy.Your rifle would be set up and tested with the scope on it.The only thing you would need to do is request turrets for different elevations and hunting conditions that would fit your needs its that easy.
Hope this answers some questions some of you have.
