I measured the points by dialing the elevation turret until the line crossed the zero line in a Leupold Zero point magnetic boresighter.

10 sets of data averaged

300 yards 2.25 moa
400 yards 5 moa
500 yards 8.5 moa
top of pointer 10.5 moa

Is there any standard for BDC reticles that charts in MOA?
 
I have the actual drawing with exact dimensions. I'll dig it up and post it.

It is designed to be dead on for a 55gr FMJ starting out at 3100fps at 2000ft altitude if memory serves me right.
