    @Tahr. The particular app derives its reticle picture only from the ballistics table which I verified prior, in this instance it replicates both the ballistic calcs plus windage etc and matches it to the nominated specific reticle. Ive found it to be good. It changes the reticle subtensions matching the mag x.
    In the case of the b&c reticles I dont zero at 100 yards for them either. Instead I zero at 200m or pbr and then verify shot fall at other ranges. Then I blaze these so they are visible from my firing point and rotate the mag x until the graticles subtensions match up. This way my crosshair is dead on @200. At 100 I can hold about 3" low, first graticle below is 300 and so on. Pretty quick in the field. So the mag x is not set at max; it is set so the graticles match the actual known fall of shot. Even on my Leupy 2.5-8*36 I have found it good as far as 600 yards tested on NRA range.
