What magnification are you guys using for 1000 yards?

[sasquatchoslav]

We have IPSC steel targets out to 550, but getting the hankering to make a run down to the 1000 yard range. Think I'm in for a new scope anyway b/c at some point I'm gonna get doing windage hold overs too at that distance and maybe a 3-9 BDC might be lacking? Any suggestions on what mag range I should be looking at? They have IPSC and 10" steel at 1000. I took a peek through a Vortex recently think it was a 6-24 wow did it look nice! Will be on a Creedmoor. Thanks!

I like 5-25X but if I’m shooting full size IPSC steel have no problem with 3-15X.

18-20 usually on a 5-25 scope for me.

Ok thanks I really liked the vortex at 24 was amazing I've never seen a target look like that.

15x is about the lowest I like.
22x is plenty.

8x-10x on on my ZP5.

I use a 4-16. I back it down to 12 or 13ish quite often as it’s a little sharper not maxed out.
