View Full Version : bullet drop "dope" on scope flip cap...?

My memory is ok with one load, but if I switch to something else I forget the drops. Has anyone found a way to have some bullet drop info for my 2 or 3 favorite loads typed on a sticker or piece of tape mounted on the rear flip up scope cover...? It just seems like a good idea, but I am guessing someone has already figured out a good way.

How does everyone keep their information available and easily visible?

I've seen some little drop charts that guys put on the flip up caps.

I used to tape mine to my stock, and my optics always jettisoned covers anyway.

I concur with F2S. Get some acetate paper and "tape" your dope chart to your stock. Acetate paper is pretty durable stuff and waterproof. Periodically, you'll have to redo it as the corners lift up but it lasts a while. I can't tell you how many butler creek caps I've had rip off. Not an ideal place to have important information. If you have a LRF, that's also a pretty decent place to keep it attached to...either by tape or some other means. I used to have my dope charts on a small D-ring attached to my PLRF-10. Always worked out well. Makes it easier for your spotter (if you have one) to call your dope for you also.
