[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 479003, member: 21869"] The reticule is marked at there selected numbers, if you get another type, you have to do similar process, or just dial the drop.Their reticle. first hash 2.2 is exact match for drop you gave. 6.8" divide by 3 for the 300 yard =2.2 moa.Next hash is 4.8 moa, your drop at 400 was 4.6 moa, which is close,but high, next hash is 6.3 moa your 500 drop was 7.4 moa low, it is about matching drops to what is preset in reticule to use as hold over. Changes for every load and reticule type. IF you use a mil type for hold you have to match drops to reticule.You are never going to get reticules to be set for 2,3,4,500 etc. unless you are lucky and they match, or go with a custom dot type.
