What works for me is a 7-8″ strip of blue paper masking tape with indelible black magic marker. I attach the tape to the stock under the scope. This is utterly cheap and easy to read, replace or edit.

Add your bullet, date and MV in small print so you remember where it came from.

I dope each 100 yards to a 1000 and interpolate intermediate ranges.

I figure my wind correction at 2mph, which I’ve found is about 1 MOA at 600 yards for most .308 Win similar cartridges. I used to use 10mph but using 2mph keeps it in my mind how significant a little wind is. It also seems to be a little easier in a pinch (for me) to add up additional 2mph increments than it is to divide down winds less than 10mph.
