After discussing with a fellow member the differences between SWFA's 1-4 and 1-6 reticles I started wondering what the actual size differences were in relation to the outer illumination ring. Its quite obvious that they are different in size and I was only able to provide speculation based on where they were placed in relation to their mil scale. I figured I would write this as a new post as I was unable to find this information on their website, and did not seem readily available. If anyones looking...
I spoke with SWFA this morning and they answered as follows:

The outer illumination ring:

1-4 model = a radius 16.5 mils
1-6 model = a radius 31.5 mils

Or diameters of 33 mils and 73 mils

Hope this helps
