I think Ron had Loopie make a CDS dial made for one of his MLs.
I’m putting a Leupold VX5HD 2-10x42 with the CDS dial on my Accura MR. Anyone dial for drop on their muzzleloader? With the right bullet I could see it extending the range of the gun.
I don’t like custom dials I just use MOA dual and use a Ballistic app.
I thought that was exactly what you were asking about?
Not so much shoot a particular rifle to death but rather a lot of shots with holdover on various rifles. Years of hunting chucks with 30-06, 300 mags and 45-70's have just acclimated me to holding over rather than fiddling with dials. You get lots of shots, you can see where the bullet impacted and misses are of little consequence. After a while you hardly have to think about it as long as you remember what gun you're shooting. I use a system of holdover I came up with myself that's easy and quick. I call it the "where is the bullet NOT gonna go" system. You know the range your rifle is zeroed in at and one look at a target much further than that and you know one thing for sure. The bullet's not gonna go where you're aiming. I shoot at a deer 200 plus yards away with my 45-70 and I know the fist foot under the x-hairs are off the table so I have to get a spot below that somewhere in the boiler room. I shot an elk at 400 yards with my 30-06 sighted in @ 200. I knew at least the first foot under the xhair was gonna be a swish so I put a foot of snow between the horizontal crosshair and the elk's back. It was lower than I expected, going thru the heart while I expected a lung shot. My freezer never knew the difference. No rangefinder, no fidling with dials, just grab the nearest rest and shoot that bull going over the ridge in the next 5 seconds. This is not precision shooting by a long shot (no pun intended) but it's easy, it's quick, and these animals have large boiler rooms. Holding over 42 inches is intimidating but leaving a foot of dead air and centering the animal in what's left is EZ.Alternate,, do I understand you correctly You've shot your rifle so much that you know your holdover and winds by nature and by experience???I would think it cuts down on a lot of precious time when a big nervous buck steps out there in front of you. I guess ultimately it would be nice to know your scope elevation dials and be able to use them but also to have practice with your gun so much that you really didn't need them.
