Better to have a rifle scope that works off Mils and nearly any modern, decent (and usually free) ballistics program will be better than a CDS dial.

If you run the numbers it’s not actually that far off. I was surprised to find in one of my rifles I am only 1 click different out to 400 yards between a cds dial set for the 6.5 Berger classic hunter 135g and the 80g hammer hunter. Depends how far you want to shoot I guess.
