    I think he failed to mention, some newer scopes, are coming caliber specific models, to help match a bullet weight & speed to the reticle of the scope. For example .223 or .308.
    But the hash mark values are not perfected, like he said.

    Always shoot to verify the hashmarks before relying on them in the field! You owe it to the game you’re shooting to ensure a clean kill. Some chronographs might not be perfectly accurate and some bullet manufacturers can be optimistic or pessimistic about their BC.

    I thought you had an app or place on your sight to put in barrel length round etc to tell you where to hold using the BDC reticle??

    Another much needed video.

    How about a demonstration, on a follow up video, of finding those mystery, hash mark, distances. Either by using a ballistic calculator program, and on the range.

    So what range should I sight in a 22 magnum ?

    Edited to add, I should have just watched the video you linked where Ryan does a much better job than I did, explaining the same thing.

    I love the fact that you’ve just gone out of your way to explaine how to use a BDC as an M~dot. Because we all know that ludite who will refuse to make the transition, even though this method is twice as complicated as just buying an M~dot in the first place. You have patience for all of your customers, no matter how stubborn. Mad respect for you folks.
