I didn't go with custom ballistic turrets because your point of impact will change with differences in temperature and atmospheric conditions. There could be several inches of difference between your needed holdover for a shot at 400 yards+ if you shoot that same distance at 20 degrees temp versus 90 degrees air temp. I think you're better off going with either MOA or MIL (whichever you prefer) adjustments, and then use a ballistics calculator app or device to tell you what to dial based on current conditions.

The custom ballistic turret markings will work great if you always shoot in similar altitude, temp and barometric pressure, but if you shoot in different locations and/or at different times of year, it can throw you off.

Get a Gunwerks BR2 Rangefinder and you can use custom turrets with ease. No phone app to deal with. Input your turret info in and it will automatically recalculate the drop regardless of where you at. The only thing you'll need to make sure on is the wind call.

I run a kestrel 5700 elite with applied ballistics. No matter where I'm at it's on spot with temp, humidity elevation and wind, just make the moa adjustments for range and hold the wind

How far are you plan on using it to?

Under 400 they work well over your inputs change

Bingo. They are worthless to a person who hunts various places. You'll learn a lot more about your gun and ballistics if you use standard turrets and how to use them. Best of the west makes it look easy. It's not as easy as it looks lol. Wind is what gets you.


Here's the single piece of advice you need from this thread. Your turret and or ballistics program is only as good as the info you feed it. Get actually velocity and TRUE BC and input it. Then make sure it matches up. If you handload, lots of powder will vary. Which will cause changes in velocity. Factory ammo will vary. Don't just read the velocity on the box. Always verify everything yourself in your gun.

couldn't agree more

Sig Sauer offers a free Custom Turret with several of their scopes models. You just fill in the necessary info., send it to Sig and they will custom cut a turret for that scope.

Bingo. Custom ones work great if you only hunt the same elevations all the time.
