I'm not a fan of BDC reticles as there are too many variables involved. Like cartridge choice, what magnification the rifle is on and so forth.
I sight-in all my rifles to hit 2" to 2.5" high at 100 yards. I've killed deer out to 310 yards with no problem whatsoever. That is my maximum effective range in reality.
The truth is, 99.9% of the deer I've killed in my lifetime have been under this distance anyway.
