Answer to facebook question

The answer to the question--"use the point of the duplex."

I fully realize we live in a day when "compensation" is built into the scopes we use. I am also certain all of us have equipment that does not have the newest technology built in.

For those of us who fall into that category there is a viable option. With a duplex cross hair scope you can develop a "consistently constant long distance aiming point" by simply using the point of your duplex crosshair and the power ring on your scope. If you are sighted +3"@ 100 yds using a 3x9 power scope you will be very close to dead on @ 200yds using the point of the duplex as your aiming point. If you decrease the power of the scope that "dead on hold range " can be extended even more,the point of the duplex continuing to be your point of aim.

I used 200yds in the question because I believe it to be a reachable range with enough energy using the named bullet and load to give a clean kill. If you decide to give this process a try you will be able to work at longer distances--however, power level will be down. Sight in carefully, practice at the desired ranges--remember each bullet design will have its own particular trajectory; shooting at your desired distance is imperative. Regardless of the components, the process is sound.
