    If I was going to go for a ballsitic reticle in the Burris I would go for the Creedmoor reticle. way more info in the hash marks for both windage and elevation.
    BUT in my humble opinion the better options for longer range work are. firstly have a scope you can rely on to dial and then dial the elevation required for the distance to target. Or secondly just hold over for distance. For example a 200m zero with say a 6.5 Creedmoor will need a 9cm holdover for 250m, so just hold slightly high on the animal. A 300m shot will need a 23cm hold over, so hold just below the back line, assuming its a deer size target. 350m is a just above the back line hold. The same can be said for most average hunting cartridges. 270,30-06,308, 243.
