Above are a few of the most popular caliber/load combinations. A complete list of approximately caliber and
load combinations can 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). e
internal formula will determine amount of bullet drop/holdover in inches or centimeters based upon distance, angle,
and ballistics of your caliber and load.
is state-of-the-art digital technology allows the hunter or shooter to know precisely where to hold for an eective
shot. is information should be treated as a helpful guide or tool and in no way should it ever replace practice and
familiarity with your rie, cartridge and load. We encourage practice shooting at dierent ranges so you know how
your rie, 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 WSM and are shooting the following Winchester brand load: gr. Ballistic Silver Tip bullet at
FPS muzzle velocity. is combination falls under Ballistic Group “F”. After setting the rangender to ballistic group
“F”, go to the range and sight in your riescope at yards. If you then take a shot at a target at yds, the bullet
drop will be inches. If the shot is at angle of degrees upward, then the corrected bullet drop will be inches.
What if your caliber is not listed?
While we have taken great care to include as many calibers and brand names in our ballistics tables, new loads are
always being developed. In addition, some shooters load their own ammunition with unique ballistic characteristics.
