Mule Deer Ranging & Holdover (MRAD)

Ballistics were figured for factory Hornady SST @ 2500 fps - 5000' elevation. Was surprised to notice that out to 300 yards with the belly of the deer at 2 mils the holdover worked itself out nicely, made up another set of images for a friends rifle using a Vortex reticle with hash marks every 2 MOA using the same load data. These holds work well for my 308 shooting 178gr ELD-X @ 2640 as well. With a flatter shooting cartridge the same hold would likely work to even greater distances.

After a bit more work on it I checked holds using a 200 yard zero to flatten it out referencing the belly @ 8 MOA or 2 Mils made for a good hold out to 350 yards with the SST @ 2500 fps - 5,000 ft elev.
