I have 3 other scopes with a bdc reticle in them.
A b&c, an lrd, and one in a 1-4 ,on an ar.
I fully understand the concept of the hold overs.
This just too fast.
3,000, you say? Add another 784 fps to that, and see how it works out !
Plus the 100 gr, isn't slowing as fast as a 50.
I'm going to twist a turret, when I figure out what bullet and weight I'm going to launch at coues deer.
I'm going to make this a dedicated coues rifle, since I may be able to draw every year.
My point was, using holdover for the 257W is about 5x easier than the 222. With a cartridge shooting that flat, hold over dots aren't useful/needed IMO for game size animals until you are past 500yds because the target are is so large. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying your problem is. Good luck.
