It dosen’t matter what kind of bullet you’re shooting,
elevation and windage knobs work the same for all
types of rounds. All scopes work the same.
Bound’s hubby here:
Just because there is a scope on your rifle does not mean that the bullet will hit where you lay the cross hairs. You must decide at what distance you want the bullet to hit where you aim.
A bullet follows a path called a trajectory . . . inches above or below the line of sight. The trajectory will differ based on bullet shape, weight, and velocity. You use the elevation knob to adjust the crosshairs to correspond with that trajectory. The trajectory also has some lateral movement . . . so you would adjust the windage to compensate for the lateral movement. You would also use the windage knob to help correct for the wind’s effect on your bullet.
Good luck!
Well, pick a cartridge you want to use, and then get it the rifle sighted in at a particular distance that covers what your bullets are capable of.
I’m sure the scope will be fine for whatever you need. When you can hit something further out than you can see clearly with the scope that you have, by then you will know you need to upgrade.
Remington has a program called “shoot. exe” which is very helpful (especially if your using their ammunition).
You tell it what size of critter you’re shooting at, and a couple of other things and it’ll tell you what distance to sight it in at.
There are other web pages, programs, and tables that’ll tell you the same thing for about any other combo.
Most people just use the wind knob to get it centered, and then aim it a little left or right depending on which way the wind’s blowing (the program mentioned above will also tell you how much what MPH wind will move your bullet at a particular distances).
To use it precisely, you would sight it in under different wind situations, and then for the shot, you’ll need to know the following:
How far it it, how fast the wind’s blowing, and how many times the wind changes directions and speeds between you and the varmint.
Once you get all that, you can theoretically adjust for it.
Check your scope manual to see how much each click changes the where the bullet will hit left or right.
Unless it’s a contest – or you paid $7,000 for a Grizzly Hunt, and it’s your last day, and you see one that you need to get 600 yards away, and he’s willing to stand still while you fiddle with the scope. . .
For anything else – just say screw it – take a guess and see how close you get.
A much more common use is if you switch ammunition types or brands – you may have to change the up and down and left and right settings.
Sight it in again and keep track of the number and direction of clicks (up/down & left/right), so that if you switch back to the other brand, you can reset your scope back to it’s characteristics.
Note that this isn’t foolproof – it may be a little off even after setting it back, but it should get you close enough to make re-sighting it in a lot quicker.
Also, you have to consider your other shooting considerations – such as humidity, altitude, barrel cleanliness and temperature, etc. These can all effect where it hits (if it was easy – anybody could do it).
If you’ve got a space you’re going to be there a while, and there’s a fairly steady wind, then you might move the windage a few clicks to correct for it. Keep track of the number of clicks and direction – so you can change it back to “neutral” when you’re done.
After you’ve got it dialed in, you should be able to sight in new ammunition by starting at the setting for a similar load.
