    I wish Bushnell would provide a ballistics tool or even just tell us what the subtensions are on their reticles. All very well telling me that the BDC dots are accurate for high velocity .22 ammo, but what if I want the scope to be ever so slightly more versatile than that?

    I have the free version, and it has a couple, but none of the AR Optics series. Are there more in the full version?

    I bought a 22 with a Bushnell AR223 BDC scope. The previous owner couldn't provide the distances for the reticle so one rainy Sunday afternoon I got on line and using online calculators worked worked backwards from the 223 ballistics to get drop and moa then forwards to give distances for the various subtensions of the reticle when shooting 42g winchester subs. Worked really well. Eventually changed the scope over to a Nikon prostaff rim fire scope, lighter and clearer at dusk.
