[QUOTE="med358-boise, post: 2659933, member: 123832"] That reticle is designed for a 200 yard zero. But you need to call Zeiss and find out what maginification setting the stadia marks are set for. Leupold sets theirs for the highest magnication but I don't know about Zeiss and couldn't find it in the manual. The stadia marks represent 300, 350, 400, 450 all the way out to 800 yards for magnum class cartridges such as 300 WM, 7mm RM etc. Obvisouly your 8MM Masuer is slower. You can run a bunch of trajectories and calculate averages but I suspect you will find that you first stadia mark below the main cartrdidge is ~2.2 MOA followed by 3.5, 4.8, 6.3, 7.8 MOA equating to approxaimately 300, 350, 400, & 500 fo magnum class cartridges. So if you zero you 8mm mauser at 100 and your load is the speer 170 @ 2560 with a 100 yard zero you stadia marks will be ~200, 242, 280, 322, & 360. Also, I believe subtensions move in a linear fashion. Meaning if the standard magnification in 10x then at 8x the moas will be 25% greater. Here is a link to the manual [URL unfurl="true"]https://kyuri.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#20000000MWc0/a/6M000000ky7n/.zu7cxCo85BfmJLe7rRRVnBay4w_Ksfy4krhp8ZPs6w[/URL] [/QUOTE]
