    I've looked at the Bushnell arc -
    - It works to 60 degree angle
    - rifles are sighted to 0 @ 100 yds.
    - shooter is presumed to know what 47" of holdover looks like at 500 yds.

    On my Leuppy 3-9x40 the distance between the center of the crosshair and the top of the post is about 12" at 400 yds when on 9x. Not a coincedence that I am sighted in to hit 12" low at 400 so I would just use the top of the post for 400 yd shots. I also like to use clear tape to apply a small piece of paper with my trajectory and uphill/downhill conversions to my stock.
