You are making it way to difficult... Who cares what load they designed the scope for.
Shoot your regular load with the scope on 9x - zero @ 100 yards or in my case I use a 3" Point Blank Range - so I end up shooting a group 2.5 inches high @ 100 that will give me a zero @ 165 yards...
The next thing i do is shoot @ 175 with the main cross hair dead and check for impact. I then repeat the process using the next mark on the scope and note that point of impact. Move the target to 200 and repeat the process. I do one finally shoot @ 225. With that information I am able to use the reticule for my load(s). So in effect it does work for me and I am really happy with it or any of the other ballistic reticule scope that I have.
I still have an Mil-Dot scope that I also used alot - but at this point I do prefer the ballistic reticules in both the U-Slam and my different Bushnell 3200's.
The only ML that I do not have a Ballist reticule on is my Knight DISC - 45 cal. I use the PBR and it also but it shoots the 200 grain Lehigh so flat - it is all the same to 200 yards - that makes it really easy.
