How to Use a Leupold Custom Reticle

Custom made scopes designed for the ballistics of a specific bullet are available from the custom shop of Leupold Optics. These scopes feature easy-to-use reticles that allow you to quickly adjust for varying ranges. The intersection of the windage and elevation reticles are preset for a range of 200 yards. Above the intersection along the elevation reticle is a ranging dot set for 100 yards, below the intersection are three additional ranging dots that are set for ranges of 300, 400 and 500 yards.

Things You'll Need

Range finder

Instructions

- 1
  Prepare a target at a range of 200 yards. If you are unsure of the range, using a laser rangefinder is recommended. Align the intersection of the reticles directly onto your point of aim, with your customized reticle. This should be the exact location of your bullet's impact.
- 2
  Choose a closer target of 100 yards. Center the ranging dot above the windage reticle on your desired point of aim.
- 3
  Extend the range to a target at a distance of 300 yards. Center the first ranging dot below the windage reticle onto your point of aim.
- 4
  Increase the range to 400 yards and use the second ranging dot as your point of aim.
- 5
  Pick a target at 500 yards and center the bottom ranging dot on your point of aim.
