I am still trying to get up to speed on optics and have seen a few what I call low end scopes that seem to have reticles for specific rounds with specific loads. It kinda worries me that none of the high end scopes I know have this feature. On the other hand I get how it might be helpful to start off with. So any of you guys using one, or don't use one and why.
 
Bdc reticle- It’s a crude rule of thumb which is better than nothing but if you can learn your rifles dope then you will be much better off with a mil or moa scope in standard increments.
 
if you were shooting military loads from a military rifle like they were intended then yeah sure they would probably work.

there's a reason we use scopes more than just a crosshair. any normal scope described here will have the appropriate mil/moa markings to do essentially what a BDC does, except it can be used for any caliber at any speed
