Here is a hypothetical entry in my range sticker-- 450-2.4-1.8 ...obviously range, elevation and windage reference--no headers needed. I also use the objective Butler Creek Blizzard scope cap cover to store rangefinding that i've calcd. for whatever reticle/tgt. size. The Blizzard style BC cover has a clear piece of plastic that's held in with a spring clip that can easily be popped out. The dope goes onto a sticker that's attached to a thin piece of cardboard cut so it fits between the retaining clip and plastic piece. This way when i pop my caps up i can see all my dope without having to get out of position. Sean, i also use my Butler creek scope cap covers to store reticle/turret zeros.
