From 0 to 400 yards. What (non ballistic) scope magnification do you use?

Yes I know some people only have shots out to 100-150 yards but that’s not the question.

I might be dumb, but what do you mean by non-ballistic. As in, plain reticle?

I keep mine on 6x, but will crank it to 12x for anything past 200yds. It’s worked out to 550yds so far.

Yes plain reticle instead of bdc. Just trying to cut out all the potential bdc suggestions.

I like as much zoom as I can get. You lose light at those high zoom powers but if you got good daylight why not?

Aim small miss small is what Benjamin Martin always said.

I prefer more magnification beyond 200 yards but situations dictate how much I dial up the magnification. Low light is keep it at 12x or less and if i want a wide field of view I crank it down. Made plenty of shots in the 265-350 yard range at 12x or less.

2.5-10 is fine for 99% of the deer hunting we do in Alabama. If it was going to be a power line or bean field rifle I'd probably put a 5-25 on it
