I'm really excited about trying one out... 

 

 

 

So far with the one i have.i have been able to hit 20oz coke bottle up to 500Yards. its fun but with the thinner lines it would make it easyer to shoot lets say a dime at 100yards. It just covers it all up

Hmmm....I'll have to try it out. It didn't seem too intrusive.

 The only thing i have found with the BDC is that the POI will be different with different load speeds.It recamends 3000 fps I think. I do most of my hand loads as close to 3000 as i can get.The BDC is so close it is scary.Now with the faster loads the POI gose to the top of the circle in the BDC. after about 2 shots it makes its self clear of what the actuall POI is campaierd to the BDC recamendations. Its easy if I the ( village idiot) can do you i'm sure you sharp shooter willl have no problems at all.

We took Stephanie with us on the BDC shoot and it was only her 2nd time EVER to shoot and, she shot a few shaving cream cans 500 yards with a .270. Those reticles are amazingly easy to use.
