    CDS turret help

    Looking at a CDS on my Kimber 308 - 600y max.

    I hunt (or once did) South Island river flats to tops.

    What is best alt/temp settings, and distance increments to go for?

    Cheers!

    I know of a forum member who dials elevation in subway footlong units

    Mind you it was for a long range shot using a 45/70, but worked impressively well
