If that is the reticle, the dimensions I posted above are accurate.

Jim, If you search Burris Optics and go to their Ballistic Tool page and continue to Reticle Analysis, you can load their program with a 100yd zero and try it again with a different zero to compare.

I like the Strelock app but Burris will get you started. Their program expects you to be using factory ammo.

What's the purpose of the mil marks in the vertical above center? Ranging purposes only? That's one stupid reticle. Fashion before function....

It sells scopes to people that do not understand what they are doing.

Ranging, measuring POI/POA deviations, and hold-unders come immediately to mind. Not that I advocate it, but it is common for someone to adjust the turrets to somewhere mid range of their target array, then hold under a calculated amount for closer targets, and over for further out targets. I see that done all the time in PRS when multiple target distances are within a few hundred yards of each other. I see where some hunters may find that method useful for hunting over a field?
