For you guys that do not have access/knowledge to print a label off a CAD program like Drake4 does here is another approach to making your own labels.
I have used on my practice guns computer envelope self adhesive labels. Cut them to the size (Lenght-width) that you need for your turret. Apply to your turret, go to an office supply store and buy a waterproof pen. Mark your "zero" accordingly and then count number of clicks (Hopefully you have field verified) to the next mark you want and keep going. When you have your turret marked up you then can cut some packaging tape and put over the turret to give it some weather protection. If things change you just peel it off - no mess or residue and start over.
I have a 22LR that I use out to 300 plus yds for practice and have to go 3 revolutions on the turret to get out there. I mark the 1st revoultion on the bottom of turret, 2nd revolution on the top of turret and 3rd revolution is in the center of turret. You can make it any which way that fits your needs.
On a 243 I use for practice I put the come up yardage on the bottom of turret and on the top of turret I put the windage correction at that point for a 10 mph cross wind. If you have 5 mph wind you just use 1/2, if you have a 20 mph wind you double the correction factor.
Build 'em the way you want and when things change just peel it off.
