[QUOTE="djfriesen, post: 1636280, member: 98079"] In my opinion, a BDC reticle is only good if you know the angles associated with the subtensions. Too much changes from hunt to hunt for me to use it for more than that. It's the same reason I can't justify a custom turret. As soon as the atmospherics change, or you decide you want to us a different load, both sets of yardage are out the window. My approach is to range, input pertinent info on the ballistics solver to get drop and wind in MOA, and hold on the proper subtension. This lets the solver handle the variables, and leaves the reticle to handle what it's good at: geometry (or maybe trig is a better descriptor). [/QUOTE]
