Here is the BDC reticle I use, but I don't shoot out to 1,000 yards;

Burris includes a "card" for different calibers and different bullet weights (gives a close approximation for hold overs) - I tape the card on the inside cover of the corresponding ammo box.

I use their Signature Select 4X-16X 44MM BDC illuminated reticle scopes on all my rifles (always the same sight picture no matter what gun I have in my hands).

Ultimately, I still need to verify the point of impact (POI) using "that" gun with "that" bullet holding on each line below the cross hair.


One exception: I use a 6X-24X 44MM with a Mil-Dot reticle on my .204 varmint gun.


Bottom line - works for me !
