I've got the BR reticule on my Swaro, and know that the first 3 lines/blobs are 100, 160 & 210 yds...
Anything in between is then judgement, but it's a great starting point for me.
leupold do a custom turrets which they calibrate via fps your cartridge is doing and they are very good apparently.If you could self calibrate a series of small mill dots or secondary crosshairs that corresponded 100% with the rifle/calibre POI in question I can see the point.

Hi fart, them aiming points are pretty useless when most cals will shoot out to 200yds with poi 1.5 inches high at 100yds, atb swaroI've got the BR reticule on my Swaro, and know that the first 3 lines/blobs are 100, 160 & 210 yds...

I only use my mildots at 1000yds for windage mainly so I know how many moa I need to adjust, when somewhere handy i do the odf click to fine tune, if the mildots are used properly you are ment to be able to use them as range finders.

Quite a talent being able to convert metric to imperial on the fly, i cant do it myself, i stick with mils when milling. All my scopes are metric/metric.

Ha haOn my 6x42 S&B on the .270, the point where the vertical and horizonal lines meet in the middle is 100, 160 & 210 yds - much simpler!
there is nothing clever gar, ive got all conversions wrote down on my ammo boxes in black marker pen, ie center of mildot to center of next mildot, center to edge of mildot, edge to edge of dot and the width of the dot itself and there click values, measure from where I aimed to the marker and adjust simplesQuite a talent being able to convert metric to imperial on the fly, i cant do it myself, i stick with mils when milling.

I too have yardage and clicks wrote down, one thats stuck to the stock and the other is on white paper bold numbers wrapped in celotape to waterproof kept under comb raiser for when lights fading and easier to readThis is on the butt is stuck on the stock amd the other is well to givpaperslayovers when stalking:

I have converted MOA to clicks on my Swaro scope - pain in the *rse, but I need to do it the hard way
