Thread: Holdover Reticles

To avoid disappointment if you do go hold over work it all out using the ap before you buy. Then only buy if the hash marks aline close to the required ranges for the load/ammo you intend using.

Tract Torric scopes have a very good ballistic reticle and can be dialled as well. I fiddled with their ap and for my 300saum load when sighted in for 212 yards the hash marks aligned right through in rounded 50yd (250, 300 etc) increments to the max range of the ret (500 yds I think). So I went ahead and got the scope with the ballistic ret. The best of both worlds. In a hurry I can use the ret (restricted to the max 15 power), or when I want I dial. Works great.

But if I run the numbers for a .223 the ret is a disaster.
