I’ve just mounted this on a .30-06 shooting 150-gr spitzers at some 2,800 fps. For those who’ve used this scope, what do you think I can expect when sighting in with the Ballistic Plex and the various elevation hash marks? Thanks.

In the box, there are charts that show where you should zero and what each hash mark should represent. This based on cartridge, bullet, velocity, trajectory etc...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Burris has a tool on their website called "Reticle Analysis", which will allow you to do this. LINK

Zero at 100, and the marks below will be close enough to 200, 300, 400 yds. For a 3-9x FF II.

I like to zero the first hash mark below the cross hair intersection at 200 yards. But you'll have to decide the specifics based on the country you hunt in. I often hunt in open country and many of my shots come at 200-300 yards.

I've done this on several rifles using both the 3X9 and the 4.5X14 Ballistic Plex scopes, in 223, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 308. While I don't think I'd want to do any competition shooting with this setup, I'd certainly go hunting with it. It has worked particular well with 150 grain 308's.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the comments. I’m looking forward to finding out how it works with my set up.
