[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1236057, member: 54178"] I would never buy a scope with a "BDC" reticle due to their limitations. As one optics expert said in an interview, "...BDCs lie to you beyond 400 yards." Instead I use a mil/mil turret and reticle for my SWFA 3- 15 x 42 hunting scope and a mil/mil Bushnell ERS 3.5 - 21 x 50 tactical scope with a Horus H59 "Christmas tree" milling reticle for long range competition on my Ruger Precision Rifle. Both of these rifles are in 6.5 Creedmoor using 143 gr. Hornady ELD-X for hunting and 140 gr. ELD-M for competition. The ballistics are nearly identical so I get very familiar with that trajectory curve and wind drift. Both bullets are nearly identical in shape and G1 and G7 BCs. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
