[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 1037249, member: 29966"] One misconception is that BDC reticles are outdated and don't serve a purpose. While I enjoy dialing and holding right on, I find I use my BDC reticles a ton on shots under 600 yards because it is so fast. With the right MOA or MIL reticle you could do the same thing until you ran out of reticle marks; I have read a lot about Kirby Allen using this method quite reliably. The other misconception is that a 7mm or 300 mag is the minimum cartridge you need to hit steel at 1k yards. While the extra energy make them great for 1k yard elk you don't need a magnum round to reliably shoot 1k yards on animals/targets that require less energy. [/QUOTE]
