Re: Nikon BDC question.
Your not going to find alot of input on this here I suspect.As mentioned above zero 2.5-3 inches high at 100yds.Get a scope with finger adjustable turrets.If you need to shoot beyond 300yds know your dope and dial it in.The BDC reticles cannot take into account all the variables like altitude,temp,BC,bullet weight etc.
Chrono your load and get a print out from one of the online calculators make a chart and tape it to the side of your stock.You will be far better served then a generic BDC.IMO
