I followed the lesson in the Long Range dvd of @Norway to make my dropchart and then make the turret so you can just dial up distance instead of having to always look on your chart.

My 848 yard shot shows me I'm pretty damn close (apart from neglecting to factor in spindrift). Elevation was not bad. Maybe one click up. I'll have to try another round or two in case it was human error
Here's a link to the instructions creating it in powerpoint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igmIslhusgs Just take your time and use pause and rewind alot.
Nice :thumbsup:Quote:

Looks fantastic. Is that laminated and then stuck on ?
Would love to get one for my new Mueller scope.
Not even eah! I just printed it on normal copy paper and put sellotape on the front and back then wrapped it around the turret with more sellotape. A bit hori but it works perfectly and I can just print another one if it gets unreadable.

Or you could try this
Custom Turret Systems | Affordable Custom Turret Labels but not as cheap as yours.
i just heard about some 'red' double sided tape that can take your skin off. I told my wife - Get me two rolls of that immediately!Quote:

Multiple rounds, weather or locations will change your range to drop.Quote:

All you need is powerpoint, take your time and be ready to pause and replay sections. It's all just a case of following what they do. I have a much older version of powerpoint than the lesson and just had to look in different places for the functions. Give it a crack. It's easy really.

@Norway dvd shows you how to make those adjustments for different environments than your 'default setting'. Much you can prepare well in advance of taking the shot. So in fact you only need the one set of turrets for the one gun providing the load is the same. You could have another set for a different load/weight projectile or if you wanted the same scope to be used on an entirely different calibre rifle. This would work well if you use QR rings and had a record of the zero adjustment back and forth. The setup change would be very quick.

Ive been using this for a while now on my MOA Mk4. Just remember to back off x1 or x2 clicks depending if you are shooting on 10° or 15° angle. :o
Easily gets you out to 600 yards using the standard pressure/temp of your normal hunting spots. ;)
Mk4 turrets only have a small visable section so it's proberly one of the hardest scopes to do it with. :pissed off:
Photo Shop or AutoCAD are the best programs to use if you can find someone that knows how to use them. :O_O:
Print on normal printer then wrap with waterproof tape (that sticks like shit to a blanket) :D around it. Get this tape from Mitre10 Mega and cut it down to suit.
The red lines mark the origonal MOA so i can still easily use a drop chart if i need to and see if the tape has moved on the turret. :(
First test day saw x2 sika drop on the spot at 594 and 597 Yards. Shot another one at 450 Yards the other day so im convinced :thumbsup:
If you have very accurate data and good CONSISTENT realods you should not have any problem.
Good Luck :thumbsup:
