[QUOTE="shimoda, post: 399936, member: 10112"] I have a 4.5-14 VX3LR with M1's and the B&C reticle on my 7mmSTW and love the setup. Using the balistic reticle calculator on my exball program I determined zero for each hashmark [confirmed at the range] and effective point blank range [10"target] for each hashmark at max power. I have a cheat sheet stuck inside my flip up scope cover that tells me which bar to use. Example: Min Zero Max Bar#1 326 401 453 Bar#2 464 511 550 #3 603 636 665 I set this up for the average elevation and temp I expect to be hunting. My preference is to dial up but can use the reticle for a quick shot if distance and conditions are reasonable. All that being said, out of the fifteen or so animals I've taken with this setup I've only used the holdover reticle once [mulie @540yds. the rest were dial-up or close enough that no come-up was necessary.
