[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 921305, member: 34084"] I like using BDC reticles out to 500 yds or so. Beyond that, I think dialing is more accurate. The Zeiss RZ-800 is a nice reticle, but it's difficult to make it accurate over the entire 0-800 yd range. You really need to calibrate ir for either short, mid or long range. I like simple BDC reticles that provide windage holdoffs. The Burris E1 reticle works very well. By adjusting the magnification, I can get the E1 to match just about any caliber out to 500 yds, with less than +/-3" of error. Most flat-shooting calibers have less than +/-1" of error. Steiner uses a similar reticle, called the S1. I also like the Swarovski BRX/BRH reticles because they are mil-based and can be used for milling targets to get range (in a pinch). The E1 reticle features are also available in the new Burris Veracity Scopes. The Veracity scopes also have milling and windage hold-off crosshair marks, so it's more of a general purpose reticle (good for holding-off at short range and dialing at long range). [/QUOTE]
