The funny part is that I was accurate out to 500 yds with my Burris on 14x magnification on my '06. That scope is now on my 7mm08 and a Zeiss tops my '06 so I have to start all over again.
For this year I'll zero for 200 yds and restrict my hunting shots to a max distance of 300 yds, which I don't need a bdc for. Not a big deal as 95% of all the animals that I have ever shot were 200 yds or less and I've never shot one past 300 yds. Next year I'll practice until I'm confident with my shooting out to 500 yds.
I can't afford to shoot several rds at each magnification from 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 yds just to see what the optimum magnification is. I think that it would be better to understand the bdc recticle prior to practicing long range shooting so all that I have to do is confirm what the experts tell me (ie. the Zeiss data).
