[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2856950, member: 12443"] Well here we go again. First off, im very familiar with custom reticles, and have been using Leupold scopes having them for about 50 years. Premier Reticles at one time were a certified repair facility for Leupold scopes. And they also specialized in the installation of custom muti dot reticles in Leupold scopes, and only in Leupold scopes. This was back before Leupold offered target knobs on their scopes, which came about in the early 80s. But even after that you could still get them installed. In order to have a custom reticle installed, Premier needed specific cartridge information. including the bullet being used, the BC of the bullet, the specific velocity in the ( gun to be used, ) The distance of the reticle above the bore, and at least an average number for temperature and altitude. Pretty much the same information needed for making an elevation chart. Since reading and replying to these posts, ive been very curious about some of these things. So today i called Leupold scopes and talked to a tech. He was very familiar with the Premier Reticles, and the fact that they are no longer in business. I asked if Leupold were now offering a custom reticle, and he said no. I then asked if the TLR reticle which im not familiar with could be used in that manner. His answer was that they dont offer a TLR reticle. Next question, do you offer any reticle that might be used for that purpose, again the answer was no. Now all that said, it could be that TLR is a reticle by some other company? Also it would probably be possible to use some of the various reticles available today to come up with some type of a program on your own. But it would require a whole lot of shooting in order to get that information. And of coarse it would only apply to that gun with that load. [/QUOTE]
