Ocular focus is so the reticle isn't blurry when you look through the scope.
Once set you should only have to change that if your vision changes.
Parallax will be different at various ranges
Parallax isn't a big factor when hunting, only when you strive for little groups.
When in the field I...
When you do this only look through the scope a few seconds because your eye will try to adjust to it if out of focus.
Mount you rifle and look for a second, it should be in focus right away.

I wear glasses and each time my Rx changes I have to readjust all...
You can check scope parallax error at a given range (200 yards in your case) by putting the scoped gun in a rest with the scope centered on target at 200 yards. Without touching the gun look through the scope and gradually move your head from side to side. If the crosshairs moves off the point...

I can't imagine the devastation from varmint bullet, I might have to try some.
Thanks for the info.
I'm heading back home to northern Nevada in a few months for good, Temps can be from 0 to 110.
Think I'll stick with the Hodgdon extreme powders, they have served me well in the past in those conditions.
Guy and Scotty are spot on.
Proper technique and lots of practice from field positions.

You would think they would use an anti-static plastic for reloading.
Well darn.... everyone that has the Ohaus knows what they got (y) (y) and are not parting with it..
