Thread: How do I set up and use a BRH (or BDC style) reticle?

Most of my rifles have BDC reticules, and I use PBR to setup my zeros based on the type of targets I will be shooting at (e.g. bunny size vs deer size). I use Strelok Pro to calculate my drops and it has a really good database of BDC reticules. You can either print out your drops or write them on your arm before a hunt with sharpie.

PBR gives you the best possible configuration before needing to use hold overs.

I’m saying theirs no point moving your zero all the way out to 280 for example because it gives you a 350 pbr when using a bdc iv got a range finder as do most so 100mtr zero is sweet as in conjunction with the reticle I’m not worried about the pbr if it was a duplex reticle different story
