Above are a few of the most popular caliber / load combinations. The enclosed Ballistics CD contains
approximately 1000 caliber and load combinations. Simply load the CD into your computer CD drive
and follow the instructions on your screen. This complete list can also be found on Bushnell’s website
(www.bushnell.com).
After you have determined which ballistic group corresponds to your caliber and load, select this ballistic
group (See MENU SETUP above).The internal formula will determine amount of bullet drop / holdover in
inches or centimeters based upon distance, angle, and ballistics of your caliber and load.
NOTE: All bullet drop / holdover data for ballistic settings A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H assumes the rifle
has been sighted in at 100 yards. Bullet drop / holdover date for ballistic setting I and J assume the
muzzleloader has been sighted in at 150 yards.
This state-of-the-art digital technology allows the hunter or shooter to know precisely where to hold for an
effective shot. This information should be treated as a helpful guide or tool and in no way should it ever
replace practice and familiarity with your rifle, cartridge and load. We encourage practice shooting at
different ranges so you know how your rifle, cartridge and load will perform under various conditions.
Always know what is behind your bullet; if you don’t know, don’t take the shot.
EXAMPLE
You have a 300 WSM and are shooting the following Winchester brand load: 180 gr. Ballistic Silver
Tip bullet at 3010 FPS muzzle velocity. This combination falls under Ballistic Group “F”. After setting the
rangefinder to ballistic group “F”, go to the range and sight in your riflescope at 100 yards. If you then
take a shot at a target at 317 yds, the bullet drop will be 9 inches. If the shot is at angle of 27 degrees
upward, then the corrected bullet drop will be 8 inches.
