[QUOTE="Guest, post: 18074"] [b]Re: New Leupolds\'s Boone & Crocket Reticle[/b] With the Burris Ballistic mil dot/plex and the Leupold type drop calibrated reticles they can be recalibrated to the actual drop rates for whatever load you are shooting. You can use the MOA information given per the drop lines on your reticle and calibrate it to your load. For the Ballistic mildot my .300 win mag load recalibrates at roughly (I don't have the exact numbers here at work). 0 = 115 yards 200= 195 actual 300= 297 actual 400= 408 actual 500= recalibrate to 525 actual is 522 600= recalibrate to 650 actual is 640 700= recalibrate to 800 actual is 800 You get the idea. It doesn't matter if your load is faster or slower than the load the scope was orinally calibrated at from the factory. You can recalibrate the reticle lines to your actual drops. It is easy to do. Run your load in one of the free ballistic programs on the net. Run it out to 900 yards in 10 yards increments to get the drop information you will need to figure your MOA points to match up to your reticle. I found the formula on the Burris site, as well as the MOA information for the aimpoints in the reticle. The formula to calculate MOA is negative inches of bullet drop divided by yardage times 100 = MOA then you match up the MOA of your load to the drop chart MOA's for your scope. You can play around with the figures and see how diffent loads will fit your aim points in your reticle. Believe me it is easy to do, noone is more math challenged than me and I figured it out pretty easily. Then you would need to do actual field tests to make sure it all checks out. [/QUOTE]
